[Blood glucose regulation in Bartter's syndrome. Observations in 2 cases]

Two cases (two sisters) of Bartter's syndrome are reported in which evident disturbance of the glycaemia regulation system was observed alongside other elements typical of the syndrome. The data are discussed in the light of recent aetiopathogenetic hypotheses about Bartter's syndrome. It is concluded that the physiopathological condition is also directly responsible for the disturbance in glycoregulation.
