Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for your query. I am Chat Doctor 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 dialysis may be required for lifetime. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
