Welcome to health care magic.
1.The ultrasound scan report suggest thinning of the renal cortex with increased echo-texture which suggest - possibility of renal functional pathology.
2.In creased echo-texture can be seen in the chronic kidney diseases.
3.In could be infective or inflammatory causes - need to get KFT - kidney function test done for urea, creatinine, protein levels and so on.
4.In some cases renal biopsy might be needed to assess the exact parenchymal condition.
5.An IVU - intravenous urogram to assess the functional status of the kidney.
6.Suggest get further evaluation and treated accordingly - as delay can complicate . Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask do not hesitate to ask.
