Reduced urine output is a better indicator of failing kidneys than urine colour. Urine colour varies with type of food & amount of water taken, medications, exercise and kidney infection.

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?
