Exchange of erythrocyte intracellular (i/c) K + for extracellular (e/c) Na + in human erythrocytes treated with sub‐CMC concentrations of the non‐ionic detergent Brij 58 can be stopped by reincubation in serum or albumin containing solutions. The progressive equilibration of the K + contents of detergent‐treated human erythrocytes with the incubation medium was reversed by an albumin‐mediated withdrawal of detergent molecules from the cell. Re‐establishment of near normal [K + ] in terms of K + /kg water proceeds in two ways: (i) a metabolism‐dependent net accumulation of K + ions; and (ii) a metabolism‐independent shrinkage of erythrocytes, this being the more significant factor.
