Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Your kidneys might be showing mild signs of abnormal function. This is seen as increased echogenicity. You must get your serum creratinine test done. It is best you consult a nephrologist (kidney specialist) and take an opinion if not taken already. My suggestion is to follow up with your doctors and take treatment for like high blood pressure or diabetes. You must also start taking a renal diet which is recommended for those having slightly abnormal kidney functions. You may get your ultrasound repeated after 3 to 6 months.
