Abstract
When faced with patients with deteriorating cardiac disease, nephrologists tend to accept that heart disease is unmodifiable, accepting mediocrity and opting for stabilization. Likewise cardiac patients with persistent renal failure are presented with a poor renal prognosis and prepared for renal transplantation. We present three dialysis dependent children with moderate-to-severe cardiac failure in whom home hemodialysis normalized the cardiac function and restored renal function. These cases highlight the medical benefits of home hemodialysis in severe cardio-renal cases but not without acknowledgement of the resource, commitment, and safety challenges that accompanies them.
