Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Anechoic lesion means cystic lesions because fluid are anechoic. while increase cortical echogenicity means acute renal failure.
I would like to advise you to take plenty of water and then repeat ultrasound after 3 weeks.
Hope it helps best.
