HI
Thanks for the query.
Did you have any symptoms when the test was performed?
Also do you have any pre existing conditions like diabetes or hypertension?
Altered echotexture is often a sign of kidney damage. This can be confirmed by doing blood tests like Urea, creatinine and CBC and urine analysis.
You need to see a nephrologist with the results of the above tests. He/She can examine you and make the appropriate diagnosis.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
