Hello
Mildly raised echotexture of both kidneys may indicate renal parenchymal disease.
This condition need proper evaluation.
Complete renal function should be assessed.It includes routine hemogram,random blood sugar,serum urea and creatinine,creatinine clearance,GFR,serum sodium,potassium,calcium,bicarbonate,phosphate,bicarbonate etc.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
You may need dietary protein restriction.
You should consult nephrologist.
Get well soon.
