Abstract. Cardiac arrhythmias are a frequent event in chronic haemodialysis patients, and their pathogenesis is still poorly understood. We evaluated plasma K + (P K ), intraerythrocytic K + (E K ) and acid-base changes during haemodialysis in six patients with frequent arrhythmias (A-pts), and in six (used as controls) nonarrhythmic dialysis patients (C-pts). PK decreased significantly (/ >
