Plus, there's this annoying pain in my foot. Can you tell me what's going on and what I should do next?

I'm a bit worried as I've been told that both my kidneys are small and show increased echogenicity. The left kidney measures 74x42mm and the right one is 76x46mm. What does this mean for my kidney health? Should I be concerned about these sizes and echogenicity levels? What steps should I take next?

Small kidney size with increased echogenicity suggests chronic kidney disease (CKD) or other renal conditions; consult a nephrologist for further evaluation and management to determine underlying cause and prevent progression
