is this kidney in the abessinean cat normal or to dense in the center/pelvis -amyloidosis?

hi out there –

I have a seven year old male Abessinian cat with a high SDMA (IDEXX 23µg/dl) and a CREA of 211µmol/l , UREA and Phos normal; he trinks more and looses some weigth, but is in a good mood and is eating well;

do you see any singn on the ulttrasound poictures and on the videos of amyloidosis, – is the “dense” center of the kidneys normal or suspicious?

thanks a lot!

it is my – the vets cat…
