Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, let me you inform you that, normal GFR is 90-120ml/min. As the GFR of your husband is below normal, he's on dialysis.
GFR reflects kidney function. Dialysis functions like an artficial kidney.
If he undergoes a kidney transplant, he can be without dialysis.
His natural kidneys have gone into irreversible kidney failure, so he's on dialysis.
Hope your doubt is cleared.
