What Does My Kidney Ultrasound Report Indicate?
I am 60 years old, and in my renal sonogram appears bilateral renal sinus lipomatosis and mild increase in renal cortical echogenicity bilaterally. Correlate for active or residual renal inflammatory changes and/or early renal parenchymal disease changes. The urinary bladder is partially under distended throughout the examination with a total bladder capacity of 34.11 cc.

Hi
Sinus lipomatosis is a scientific name for excess fat in the hilum of kidney. This is of no consequence. Hence put your mind to rest. For the finding of increase in renal cortical echogenicity, you will need a blood test called creatinine and urea levels and eGFR to be done. You will also need other tests like urine analysis. Hence please contact your doctor.
