Brief Answer:
He needs Dialysis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I saw all the reports.
Main Indication of Dialysis is Raised Serum Creatinine levels.Serum Creatine is raised in most of the days along with Blood Urea.
The metabolites are not excreted in Urine.So,they are getting accumulated raising Serum Creatinine.
Dialysis will alter this.
There is no alternative for Dialysis.
Please continue Dialysis as advised by the Nephrologist.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further
Wish him good health and speedy recovery
Regards
