<s>[INST] I am 39 and have had back pain since June. I am a very active mother of 2, runner and avid aerobics instructor. I also ballroom dance. Blood test all come back normal but cat scans showed Increased Renal Cortical Echo Texture and was told to find a Kidney Specialist today.. I am worried.

It includes routine hologram, random blood sugar, serum urea and creatinine, creatinine clearance, GFR,serum sodium, potassium,calcium, bicarbonate,phosphate, bicarbonate etc. Proper treatment depend upon findings. You may need dietary protein restriction. You should consult nephrologist. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.  </s>
