Revisión bibliográfica: indicaciones y complicaciones del Trasplante de Microbiota Fecal

Abstract

At the gastrointestinal level, microbiota imbalance is a common issue nowadays, which is why Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) has become a therapeutic option over time due to its clinical outcomes for patients. A descriptive cross-sectional Scoping Review study was conducted using the PRISMA statement, PubMed, and Lilacs databases to analyze articles published in the last 5 years, With the aim of providing a literature review on the indications and complications of Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) treatment, eleven studies that met the criteria were analyzed. The analysis concluded that the mode of administration of FMT varies depending on the condition being treated. There are encouraging results regarding the use of FMT in patients with Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, and Recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection, as well as in extraintestinal conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity, and Metabolic Syndrome. However, its complications include the transmission of enteric pathogens, infection, and/or sepsis, emphasizing the need for further research to fully understand its long-term effects
