Many reasons: How is he getting his hd -- through a catheter, a fistula, or a graft? Clots indicate different problems depending on the dialysis access.

Access issues: Most patients receive Heparin on hemodialysis to prevent clotting within the dialysis kidney membrane. Clotting can occur in dialysis catheters > dialysis grafts > dialysis fistulas, though all are at risk.
