Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

There is a mention that the kidneys are showing increased cortical echotexture. This means that the kidneys are more lighter than expected and might be due to a problem in the filtration capacity of the kidneys. Please do blood test for kidney function like serum creatinine and serum proteins. Urine test for kidney function like urine proteins and 24 hours protein and creatinine are also important. Please consult a nephrologist for proper treatment guidelines.

Your kidneys are normal in size. The kidneys are normal in size if they measure 80 to 120 mm in length. Therefore the kidney problems if any are still reversible. Please do not worry.
