Cortical echo enhancement in both kidneys may be caused by glomerulosclerosis.
Glomerulosclerosis belongs to the pathomorphologic manifestation, not the name of the disease, specifically refers to certain factors lead to the occlusion of capillary collaterals in the kidneys or the proliferation of inter-capillary collaterals thylakoid membrane, compression of capillary collaterals, and the emergence of the insufficient intra-glomerular blood supply, resulting in glomerulosclerosis.
Whether it is primary glomerular disease or secondary glomerular disease, due to the long duration of the disease, the persistence of proteinuria and hypertension, the renal arteries will be sclerotic, resulting in gradual hardening of the glomeruli, fibrosis, which can be shown in the ultrasound phenomenon of dual renal cortical echogenicity enhancement.
It is recommended that patients with double renal cortical echogenicity go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations to clarify the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
