Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Cortical scarring in kidneys is due to response of the kidney to injury. Scarring can occur because of conditions like hypertension, bacterial infection, auto immune infection, physical injury, due to medications, due to chronic disease conditions, obstruction to passage of urine, arterial disease and developmental reasons. This is not a serious condition by itself but has to be assessed in the presence of other conditions which is causing it.
