A member asked:

My doctor said i had some increased echo texture on both of my kidneys. the blood work shows they are working normal what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Echotexture: This is a very subjective and can be both an instrument and tech dependent thing but should be followed up. Your blood work would not change for the worse until the reserve function ran dry.
