<p><b>New page</b></p><div>"Average life expectancy on dialysis is 5-10 years, however, many patients have lived well on dialysis for 20 or even 30 years"[https://www.kidney.org/atoz/content/dialysisinfo]<br/><br />
<br />
=== The causes of death in dyalisis patients ===<br />
"infections accounted for more than 36% of all deaths. Withdrawal occurred in 21.2% of the patients and was most common in patients over age 61. Notably, cardiac deaths accounted for only 14.4% of all deaths <...> Cardiac mortality was not as frequent as anticipated and occurred mainly in patients on dialysis less than 4 years, suggesting that it is the result of preexisting disease." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1882824/ 1991y<sup>(find more recent)</sup><br/><br />
<br />
In more recent work https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14767027/ (2004y, France) 13.9% of people on dialysis died during 1 year. 24% died of cachexia (of 196 died patients, 24 died of cachexia and 23 died of withdrawal of dialysis decided due to cachexia). 18% died of cardiac failure and 6% due to cancer. Only 6.6% died due to infections (so probably better controlled now). <br />
Some cardiac/cancer mortality was to be expected anyway due to died patients age being 73 +-12 years (table 2). 3x difference between cardiac/cancer mortality probably can be explained by (a) partial cachexia probably decreases cancer chances(?) (b) probably hard to maintain good level of physical activity => more prone to cardia<br/><br />
Good review on cachexia causes in CKD (and dialysis): [https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s41100-016-0015-5 10.1186/s41100-016-0015-5] See table 1; most of causes are not really applicable in head transplantation scenario (either when transplanted to a living person or to artificial body, except as for connection to brain-dead person)<br />

=== Relevant details on dialysis ===<br />
Dialysis rate is "usually between 300 and 500 mL/min"[https://www.davita.com/treatment-services/dialysis/on-dialysis/how-does-my-doctor-know-if-dialysis-is-working]. <br/><br />
Compare to total cerebral blood flow which is roughly 700±100 mL/min[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538134/#:~:text=Blood%20flow%20distribution%3A,%C2%B1123%20mL%2Fmin).]. <br/></div>Admin
