Abstract
A severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread around the world since was first scientifically described in December 2019. At present approximately 400 million people have suffered from the disease, almost 6 million people have died.SARS-CoV-2 uses the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and the serine protease TMPRSS2 for S protein priming. ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are expressed in several endocrine glands, including the pituitary, pancreas, thyroid, ovaries, and testes. Thus, the endocrine glands may be a direct target for SARS-CoV-2. The main risk factors for severity of the COVID-19 are obesity, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), vertebral fractures, which potentially predisposes patients to a severe course of COVID-19.In this review, we present current data on the course of COVID-19 in patients with hypothalamic-pituitary diseases, and also discuss treatment for endocrinopathies during to COVID-19.
期刊介绍：
Since 1955 the “Problems of Endocrinology” (or “Problemy Endocrinologii”) Journal publishes timely articles, balancing both clinical and experimental research, case reports, reviews and lectures on pressing problems of endocrinology. The Journal is aimed to the most topical issues of endocrinology: to chemical structure, biosynthesis and metabolism of hormones, the mechanism of their action at cellular and molecular level; pathogenesis and to clinic of the endocrine diseases, new methods of their diagnostics and treatment. The Journal: features original national and foreign research articles, reflecting world endocrinology development; issues thematic editions on specific areas; publishes chronicle of major international congress sessions and workshops on endocrinology, as well as state-of-the-art guidelines; is intended for scientists, endocrinologists diabetologists and specialists of allied trade, general practitioners, family physicians and pediatrics.
