Hi. Thanks for posting your question on HCM.
A high serum creatinine and increased renal cortical echogenecity suggest kidney dysfunction.
The most common reason is diabetes and/or high blood pressure, although there are numerous other causes.
She needs to see a nephrologist who will be able to advice further investigations and management.
Good luck.

This looks like medical renal disease.
She needs to consult a Nephrologist , do more tests and will be guided appropriately.
