Official Title: POtassium and Cardiac Rhythm Trends in MaintENance HemoDialysis (PORTEND): A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Study

Brief Summary: This study assesses serum potassium and cardiac rhythm trends in subjects with end stage renal disease (ESRD) who are on 3 times weekly maintenance hemodialysis for at least 60 days. Dialysate K (relative potassium concentration in dialysate) must be stable for 2 weeks prior to enrollment.The number of subjects on 3K or higher dialysate will be limited to 60, with the remainder of the subjects on 1K or 2K dialysate.
