N second problem is his BP remains low n during dialysis also sometimes the machine stops due to lack of flow. What can we do?

Hello... It seems your father is not getting an adequate dialysis as he should possibly because of low bp due to which it has to be stopped earlier. The solution is either to increase the frequency of dialysis to 3/week or consider peritoneal dialysis. Regards
