Large Feline Kidneys

– 10 year old DSH overweight MN presented for pu/pd but otherwise doing well

– glucosuria found with uirne culture pending – bloodwork pending

– mild hepatomegagly and mild hyperechoic liver echogenicity noted on ultrasound

– kidneys are bilaterally enlarged (over 5cm) with hyperechoic coritices when compared to spleen but I don’t think they look abnormal otherwise and I have seen hyperechoic cortices in cats alot without disease  (fat)

– no renal hypoechoic halo seen, no abdominal lymphadenopathy

Do I worry about these? recommend FNA? monitor via ultrasound?
