AL-KAFI #259 : SOLAT SEWAKTU DIALISIS: SOLAT DUDUK ATAU JAMAK?
Can a patient undergoing dialysis during Zuhr and Asr times pray sitting down or combine the prayers?
Short answer
The preferred solution is to discuss with the doctor about scheduling the treatment in the morning so it does not clash with prayer times.

Summary
The preferred solution is to discuss with the doctor about scheduling the treatment in the morning so it does not clash with prayer times. If that is not possible, the patient may pray sitting during treatment according to ability, without needing to combine or make up the prayer. If the patient truly cannot pray during treatment, combining Zuhr and Asr at the earlier time (jamak taqdim) is allowed, without shortening, since shortening is only for travellers.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika tidak mampu dilaksanakan solat ketika rawatan, boleh dilakukan solat jamak taqdim solat asar dan solat zuhur, tanpa mengqasarkan solat kerana solat qasar hanya dilakukan sewaktu musafir.
