How Does Decreased Cortical Echo Texture Differ From Poor Cortical Medullary?
Hello, Kidney has 2 distinct parts- 1. cortex 2. medulla. These are well separated in a person who is normal. Amongst some patients who may have the onset of the renal disease, this differentiation is lost. If this ultrasound is suggestive of the said changes, I would recommend meeting a nephrologist as soon as possible for further evaluation and advice. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Saumya Mittal , Diabetologist
