Previous clinical data have shown that in addition to respiratory diseases, some male patients with COVID-19 are accompanied by kidney damage and even renal failure [2] [4], which suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may affect male fertility. Furthermore, clinical data also show that the receptor protein ACE2 that mediates the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells is not only expressed in alveolar cells, but also highly expressed in male renal tubular cells [4] [21] [30] .All these suggest that SARS-CoV-2 not only causes damage to the respiratory system of patients, but also has a certain impact on the reproductive system of male patients. ./cache/cord-328587-vctvcyim.txt ./txt/cord-328587-vctvcyim.txt
