Abstract
Sepsis is a clinical syndrome with high mortality, which can lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Nonspecific immune dysfunction and immune imbalance are its important pathological features. Macrophages are important immune cells and one of the important components of innate and adaptive immunity. Regulating the function of macrophages may be a potential method for the treatment of sepsis. Up to now, ferroptosis has been proved to be involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of many diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, Parkinson's disease, and renal degeneration. At present, relevant studies have reported that ferroptosis may be involved in the occurrence of sepsis This paper reviews the existing mechanisms of iron ptosis in macrophages in sepsis, with a view to providing si'l for future studies on sepsis.
