In dialysis and non-dialysis patients with terminal renal failure the red cell ATP and 2,3 DPG concentrations are increased. Inorganic phosphate level in red cells is nearly normal in both groups of patients. The red cell potassium concentration is decreased in both groups. Sodium concentration in red cells is significantly lower in dialysis than in non-dialysis patients, the former being lower and the latter being higher, than the average normal value.
