Hi, My father, age 68 had done his ultrasound and report shows -\"bilateral kidney shows increased cortical echogenicity with maintained CMD\" ... what is the meaning ... He is a cancer patient and under treatment for last 4 years and showing improvement
Hello Increased cortical echogenicity indicate renal parenchymal disease. It may be early since corticomedullary differentiation is maintained. Your father need proper clinical examination and further investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, lipid profile, complete renal function test(include serum urea, creatinine,GFR, creatinine clearance, sodium,potassium, calcium,bicarbonate, phosphate,chloride). Proper treatment depend upon findings. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
