Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your father's symptoms are related to chronic renal failure. For this reason, if the medical treatment is ineffective in controlling his blood urea and creatinine levels, hemodialysis would be the next treatment option to consider.
An optimization of his therapy (increasing diuretics) would help relieve the leg swelling.
You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
