Hi, My Boyfriend Has Been On PD Dialysis For About

Hi, my boyfriend has been on PD dialysis for about 3 years with little no no issues until recently. He has been having swelling in his face and ankles for about a week and his blood pressure has been around 185-190/155-165 with out and significant change. He takes 2 80mg valsartan (diovan) in the morning and 2 at night before he goes to bed. He has restricted his fluid and salt in take but no change is happening and he can't get rid of this fluid. His blood pressure can't stay this high and I'm scared something sever is going to occur. Any input or ideas on something we may be missing or something he should try would be greatly appreciated....
