Popis: | There are more than 170 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide, yet its effects on the endocrine system remain under-reported due to lack of awareness by the public, primary care givers and specialists. This is a narrative review using up-to-date literature discussing the consequences that infection with SARS-CoV-2 can have on diabetes and the endocrine glands including the adrenals, thyroid and pituitary, as well as hyponatremia and hypogonadism. Endocrinologists, internists and primary care physicians need to be aware of the involvement of the endocrine organs when dealing with people recovering from COVID-19 and actively manage any complications to reduce mortality and improve the quality of life of those affected. |
