Nephrologist 's  Response
You have only mentioned ultrasound findings.
You may also provide other investigation reports.
However,just on the basis of ultrasound these findings can be in ATIN or Pyelonephritis.
Seriousness of the condition will depend on the reports & persistence of abnormal findings
