Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 virus affects all organs and systems of the human body, including urinary and reproductive. Covid-19 disease has symptoms, clinical evolution and unknown complications till our days. Based on urology-specific systematic literature review, the authors describe the epidemiology and mechanisms of male urinary and reproductive system damaged by SARS-CoV-2 virus. The pathogenesis of renal impairment in Covid-19 is multifactorial with direct action of the virus on the nephron, but especially due to factors generated by inflammatory process, intravascular coagulation, hypovolemia, cytokine storm or toxic drug action. The presence of kidney disease until infection with SARSCoV2 virus can be interpreted as a risk factor for the evolution of the disease. Covid-19 disease also has an impact on male sexual-reproductive function, due to erectile dysfunction, decreased sperm motility or hormonal influences. At the moment, there is no evidence about presence of the specific effective drug for the treatment of Covid-19, the only medical solution to avoid side effects of the disease, is and remains vaccination.
