Abstract

The phenomenon of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a response mechanism of the innate immunity described first in processes of infection by microorganisms, which involves the release of a DNA mesh that encloses histones and proteins, among these several enzymes and molecules with toxic potential released into the extracellular space. Recently, it has been seen that this mechanism known as netosis also participates in inflammatory processes such as preeclampsia, a serious condition that can occur during pregnancy. A thorough review of the role of this phenomenon was carried out, identifying possible forms of neutrophil activation as well as possible consequences in the pathogenesis of the disease.
