Hello

Your findings suggest renal parenchymal disease.This is indicated by increased cortical echogenesity.
It may be due to many reasons like chronic hypertension,diabetes mellitus,glomerulonephritis etc.
You need further investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,complete renal function test(includes serum urea,creatinine,creatinine clearnance,GFR,sodium,potassium,calcium,phosphorus,chloride,bicarbonate).
Treatment depend upon findings.

Other findings are normal.

Get well soon.
Take Care
