Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

Yes,you need biochemical corelation to confirm renal problem.
Increased cortical echogenesity suggests renal parenchymal disease.
It should be confirmed by clinically and renal functions tests.
RFT includes serum urea,Creatinine,GFR,BUN etc.
Treatment depends accordingly.
Get well soon.

Take Care
