Hello
Thanks for query.

You have scarring of the cortex of both the kidneys .

This is due to chronic paranchymal kidney disease and not due to presence of sub cortical cyst.

These cysts are usually from birth and do not require any treatment .

The chronic kidney paranchymal disease is progressive in nature and can not be reversed,

Please consult qualified Nephrologist for evaluation as regards kidney function and further long term management to keep it under control.
