Hello
Mild increase in renal echotexture may be due to infection,renal parenchymal disease.
It need clinical correlation and investigations.Investigations include routine hemogram,RBS,urine RE/ME,renal function test.
You are right prescribed antibiotics.If condition deteriorate then you need hospitalization.
Diffuse fatty changes in liver is a reversible stage.
You should increase your physical activity and avoid fried and fatty food.
Liver function test should be done.
You may need few medicines after full investigations.
Take care
