Focus on the Crosstalk Between COVID-19 and Urogenital Systems!
Not only capable of causing respiratory illness,
Covid-19 might also wreak havoc with other organ systems, including the urogenital systems.
More attention should be paid to chronic urological histories of inpatients with covid-19. It has been suggested that covid-19 is more likely to infect older adults with serious comorbid conditions, including chronic renal disease and urological malignancies and weaker immune system.
For example, uremic patients are particularly susceptible to sars-cov-2 infection and may exhibit greater variations in infectious and clinical symptoms.
Therefore, we suggest that clinicians assess all un- derlying urological diseases of patients while treating covid-19, especially older individuals with serious comorbid conditions.
Conclusion, various urogenital illnesses can be induced by virus, and may exacerbate and even cause life-threatening conditions without careful surveillance.
Conversely, individuals with chronic urinary diseases may have increased susceptibility to covid-19 and such underlying comorbidities may result in a poor prognosis without more health care.
