Abstract
The principal spirometric and plethysmographic parameters were measure d in 68 (38 female) diabetic children and adolescents, aged from 6.01 to 22.00 years; their duration of disease ranged from 1 to 247 months. Thirty-four patients had persistent microalbuminuria. The patients we re studied basally and after the Bruce test. All the spirometric param eters were normal in all children, with and without microalbuminuria. The presence of microalbuminuria seems not to be a risk factor for the developing of abnormal pulmonary function.
