Renal parenchymal disease basically appear echogenic. There are three grades of renal parenchymal disease.
Grade 1: the Kidney parenchyma is isoechoic to the liver, but there is still cortiomedullary differentiation.
Grade 2: the kidney parenchyma is hyperechoic to the liver with preservation of corticomedullary differentiation.
Grade 3: kidney appears hyperechoic. No corticomedullary differentiation!
Chronic renal parenchymal disease
is renal parenchymal disease curable
Bilateral renal disease affects the kidneys and functions of the genitourinary system of the body. A physician who gives this diagnosis will explain the disease and treatment options.
In grad A change the cortical echogenicity (renal ) is greater than spleen but less than liver.Hint. These are ultrasonographic changes. By Dr. Jan Further detail www.frankdoctor.com
This means disease of the kidney cells (nephrons) themselves. It usually implies less than optimal capacity to process waste (such as urinary creatinine).
Grade 2 cortical kidney echo texture refers to a moderate degree of echogenicity observed in kidney ultrasound imaging. It typically indicates some level of renal parenchymal changes, which may be associated with conditions such as chronic kidney disease or hypertension. In this grade, the renal cortex appears brighter than normal but not as pronounced as in higher grades, suggesting a need for further evaluation or monitoring of kidney function.
Parenchyma is the functional part of an organ (while stroma is the supporting tissue). Echogenicity means ability to produce an echo. So parenchymal echogenicity means the ability of the functional part of an organ to produce an echo (for ultrasound examination for example).

Parenchymal echogenicity can be affected by various factors, including inflammation, fatty infiltration, fibrosis, and changes in blood flow or perfusion. Other causes may include liver or kidney diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or renal parenchymal disease, which can alter the density and echogenicity of the tissues. Additionally, age-related changes or medications can also impact parenchymal echogenicity.
The treatment for renal parenchymal disease can include dialysis and kidney transplant in severe cases. If the disease is not in an advanced stage, then the main goal of treatment is to restrict the intake of salt or potassium and address symptoms like high blood pressure through diet and different medications. This disease causes scarring of the kidneys and can result in kidney failure.
RAC, or Renal Artery Calcification, is a condition observed in renal ultrasound imaging where calcifications are detected within the renal arteries. This finding can indicate underlying vascular disease or chronic kidney disease and may impact blood flow to the kidneys. The presence of RAC can help guide further diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in the management of renal and cardiovascular health.
