A member asked:
What does the phrase-slight increased density cortical medullary junctions bilateral kidneys; right slightly greater than left mean? cause for worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Was this on ultrasound? Ct? Could be very non-specific especially if your labs (creatinine and gfr) are normal. I wouldn't worry unless your doctor mentions any abnormalities in your blood work (you should ask him/her about this).
