Abstract Object: Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which leads to acute respiratory infection symptoms. SARS-CoV-2 infection is not always limited to the respiratory tract, and renal infection and dysfunction have been shown to be specific risk factors for death. In addition, COVID-19 has a higher incidence, severity and mortality in men than women. This disparity is due to biological rather than comorbid or behavioral sex differences. Because the male reproductive system is unique, the function of sex hormones in COVID-19 infection may explain the differences between males and females. Understanding these factors will provide appropriate prevention measures and adequate triage strategies and guide the drug discovery process. Methods: An electronic search was completed in PubMed, ARXIV, MEDRXIV and BIORXIV. The most relevant articles were systematically reviewed. In addition, single cell RNA sequencing analysis of tissue samples from human cell landscape was conducted. Results: The influence of SARS-CoV-2 on the urogenital system, the possibility of urinary tract transmission and the functions of sex hormones were discussed in this review. Conclusion: Corona viruses can invade the genitourinary system, causing urological symptoms. Identifying the potential genitourinary organ impairments and protecting them from damage are necessary. Since sex hormones have potential as specific drugs, the gonadal hormones substitution therapy should be considered in both sexes in the COVID-19 pandemic.

[87] | 2020.3.6 | Clinical manifestations and pathological features of COVID-19 | 34 COVID-19-related articles | The most common clinical manifestation of COVID-19 was fever; the most common patterns on chest imaging findings were ground-glass opacity; the pathology showed that the manifestations of COVID-19 were similar to SARS. | Diao, et al. [23] | 2020.4.10 | Kidney injury in COVID-19 | 85 COVID-19 patients | Viruses can not only directly infect human kidney tubules to induce acute tubular damage but also initiate CD68+ macrophage together with complement C5b-9 deposition to mediate tubular pathogenesis. | Liu, et al.
