DKA with halo kidneys?

Hello, 

I’m wondering how significant and if it is what my rule outs are for these halo cortical “bands” on both kidneys. i know in cats can be due to Lymphoma, but not sure in dogs. Sophie is a 6 years old maltipoo F/S that was diagnosed with DKA, newly diagnosed with DM . She has very high liver enzymes ( ALP 4000, ALT 3000, TBIL 70). On AUS there is scant free fluid, normal GB and CBD, evidence of pancreatitis. Her kidney enzymes are normal. 

So would be this just an incidental finding for kidneys? 

 

Thank you,

To be more specific I’m talking about the hypoechoic halo at the periphery of the cortex.
