Fig. 2: Pathway contributing to COVID-19-associated coagulopathy.

COVID-19-associated coagulopathy (CAC) likely involves the dysregulation of numerous pathways that, in ways that are not currently well understood, culminate in endothelial damage, thrombosis and multi-organ failure. ACE2, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; autoantibodies, anti-phospholipid-targeting autoantibodies; IFITM3, interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3; NET, neutrophil extracellular trap; PAI-1, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1; ROS, reactive oxygen species; vWF, von Willebrand factor.
