Alternate to HD and pd dialysis

Hiv + for 20 years(on daily medicine, no issues here). Used medicines for lowering creatine when his creatine value is 2 for 3 years. Just 3 months back his creatine shot up to 10.5 and hospitalized because of too much weakness. Now from 3 months he is in dialysis weekly twice. Weight 59 height 5'8 .. Blood HB- 11 current and same even before. Urine output is fantastic as before.On dailysis day, he becomes more weak than others, as per technician they are giving him low volume of dialysis. Is there any low volume hemodialysis alternate to regular Hd dialysis?. No PD please.

Now his creatine level is 5.2.  but he doesn't feel any symptoms  & suger bp are in controlled. We consulted nephrologist. Some doctors recommend dialysis but some doesn't recommend.
