Hi,

To help you understand better, gallbladder adenomyomatosis is a term used when the inflamed gallbladder wall thickens. Usually, it is asymptomatic, but as in your condition, you have right upper quadrant pain so it might be due to gallbladder stones associated with it due to trapping of cholesterol crystals.

In view of the 2 cm echogenic foci in the left kidney, it could be a lipoma (aggregation of fat), hemorrhagic cyst or benign tumor.

A CT scan of the abdomen will help you a lot in understanding the extension of the contrast of the lesions and also relate to the lymph node status.

Be strong and it can be treated by surgery or medications. Visiting a nearby physician as soon as possible to do the needful would be of great help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
