Relax - his reports are actually reassuring. Creatinine 0.98 with normal urea, normal urine and no obstruction means kidney function is preserved at 74. "Bilateral renal parenchymal disease" on ultrasound here is age-related plus early diabetic change, and the raised microalbumin/creatinine ratio is the real signal. The small left kidney cysts are harmless. It is not reversible but it is very controllable - the aim is to stop it from progressing.
Next Steps
Keep HbA1c under 6.5 and BP under 130/80, salt low, protein moderate, and strictly no painkillers like ibuprofen or diclofenac. He needs a check on whether an ACE inhibitor/ARB or SGLT2 inhibitor should be started - that is what protects kidneys long term. Repeat creatinine, eGFR and urine microalbumin every 6 months. Book a consult with me on Practo with the full file and I will set the exact medicine plan.

There are many kidney biochemical parameters which are disturbed. It has not reached a stage of dialysis. I think you should be under consultation of a Nephrologist regularly. Not to be treated by Tele-consultation.

His HbA1c is in the diabetic range.This is causing microalbuminuria which is slightly high.since creatinine,urea etc are normal it indicates good renal function.The renal cortical cysts are normal. So he has to monitor his morning urine urinary microalbumin and see if it is becoming higher .control hba1c by diet exercise and medication if necessary..cortical hyper echogenecity indicates renal parenchymal disease.
Next Steps
Monitor FBs ppbs hba1 c every 3 months Measure urinary micro albumin If creatinine .,e gfr.
