Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Dialisys is not risky for him and it is required for such high Creatinine findings. Without dialysis, his condition may worsen. It is hard to say will he need it permanently without other data about it. But if this is diabetic nephropathy then it is not likely that kidneys will recover and dialisys may be required for life time.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
