Background. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The impairment of the respiratory system is dominant, however at the same time, the involvement of several organ systems has been reported, including the urogenital system. Objective of the study. Researching data from the literature and identifying the pathogenic mechanisms by which the COVID-19 pandemic has an impact on urological pathology. Material and Methods. A bibliographic study was conducted by reviewing 264 articles published during the years 2020-2022, using the platforms Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect. The words used in search engines were „urological pathology”, „COVID-19”, „pathogenic mechanisms”. The study included 67 articles that met the selection criteria. Results. Affecting the urogenital system, the COVID-19 infection can evolve severely by developing acute kidney injury induced by the direct action of the virus on the renal tubules, cytokine storm, hypoxia, microthrombosis, impaired ReninAngiotensin-Aldosterone system, nephrotoxicity of drugs, and interrelation of internal organs. By the action of the lower urinary tract, it can develop the COVID-19-associated cystitis with de novo symptoms or worsening of preexisting overactive bladder symptoms. Male fertility can be affected both by the direct action of the virus on the testicles and by indirect immune-mediated mechanisms. Conclusion. The COVID-19 pandemic has also left its mark on urological pathology, so the knowledge of the pathogenic mechanisms of urogenital damage offers the possibility of time action and prevention the severe consequences. |
