Abstract | COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a dramatic challenge, introducing huge clinical differences that demand extensive investigations. Severe and critical patients may present coagulopathies and microthrombi, which results in varied complications, or acute respiratory distress syndrome that leads to fatality. Although the lung to be the major site of clinical manifestations, COVID-19 has shown extrapulmonary manifestations, especially on the heart and kidney, directly linked to worse disease outcomes. According to the fast-moving of clinical description and scientific publications, the injuries in multiple organs and systemic inflammation appear to be caused by a deregulated immune response, and the NLRP3 inflammasome could be a relevant influencer in this imbalance. However, until now, the precise drivers of the pathophysiology of these injuries remain unknown. In this review, we discuss how inflammasome seems to be directly involved in the clinical profile of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and shed light on the mechanisms that lead to fatality. |
