Hello

Increased echo texture of kidneys may indicate renal parenchymal disease.
It may be due to many reasons like glomerulonephritis,chronic diabetes mellitus,chronic hypertension etc.
This need clinical correlation and further investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,urine RE/ME,complete renal function test(include serum urea,creatinine,creatinine clearance,serum sodium,potassium,chloride,bicarbonate,phosphate),GFR estimation,24 hour urinary protein excretion etc.
Patient may need diet restrictions and medicines after investigations.

Get well soon.
