Hello

Increased cortical echogenesity indicate renal parenchymal disease.It may be early since corticomedullary differentiation is maintained.
Your father need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,lipid profile,complete renal function test(include serum urea,creatinine,GFR,creatinine clearance,sodium,potassium,calcium,bicarbonate,phosphate,chloride).

Proper treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
