Hello!
As per the information given by you, its evident that your father must be having an uncontrolled type 2 diabetes with complications, that is why he has kidney failure for which he got renal transplant done. but now it seems that the diabetes is again poorly controlled. Diabetes contribute to kidney as well as vessel problems.
