Hello,
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
Increased echotexture on ultrasound is an abnormal change.It could be due to chronic kidney disease or other conditions like long term diabetes or hyper tension.It could be a normal variation in some people and in that case it does not signify any disease condition.
As you have a cyst too,detailed evaluation may be needed.Consult a nephrologist at earliest and he might advise you to take a CT scan of abdomen to get a more clear picture of your kidney status.Rarely a biopsy may be needed in some conditions.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
