Low BP preventing transplantation

My husband had kidney cancer in each kidney 5 years apart roughly 20 years ago. He had partial nephrectomies on each kidney. In November 2022 he progressed to Stage 5 CKD and had to start dialysis. He has low BP and is medicated to keep it up. The transplant team reviewed his case and said they cannot transplant him until his blood pressure is "normal" without medication. We are searching for natural ways to increase BP. Thank you.

Bit like coconut oil, oddly enough. So plan was to avoid BP pills. However, ...

Might add dehydration can cause low blood pressure. Water may need to be at right time? Barbara O'Neill; Salt and water; 3quarters. Dr Gundry; Water low pressure mention
