Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that uncontrolled high blood pressure could be related to kidney dysfunction.
But dialysis is not the main solution in such case.
You should know that the decision for dialysis is based only on the kidney function and not on blood pressure values.
Regarding blood pressure values, I would recommend making some changes to his actual antihypertensive therapy (increase the doses or add new drugs).
You should discuss with his doctor on these issues.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
