Hello
There is no need of MRI(Abdomen) in your husband's case.MRI is mainly required in assessment of soft tissue pathology.
Your husband had acute renal failure and that too is resolved now.
Many causes can cause acute renal failure and it is good that it is reversed.
Ultrasound findings are also normal.It might be due to some viral infection.
Get well soon.
