Implications of the intestinal microbiota in the chronic liver diseases.
Keywords:
Key words, microbiota, hepatic cirrhosis, hepatitis C virus, sustained virological answer.Abstract
Microbiota refers to the whole of microorganisms located in a normal way in different places of the bodies of pluricelular living beings, like the human body. The modifications of the axis intestine-liver have become a serious scientific problem, because in different researches researchers have found that this microbiota is related to hepatic damage depending on the cause of this hepatic lesion. To carry out a systematic review on the implication of intestinal macrobiota in liver diseases. The scientific articles published in the period 2012-2018 in different databases on line were reviewed. A total of 26 bibliographic sources were used, original articles and reviews. The authors present knowledge existent up to the moment on intestinal microbiota in patients who have liver diseases, making emphasis on hepatitis C and hepatic cirrhosis. The composition of the intestine microbiota was associated to an inflammatory and markers of hepatic fibrosis that improved with the treatment of direct action antivirals although the measures of intestinal permeability and inflammation remained inalterably. It is reported an improvement of patients carriers of viral hepatitis type C with the use direct action retrovirals, what was linked to modifications in the intestinal microbiota, and correlated to an improvement of fibrosis and liver inflammation; the advances obtained in this field open new perspectives in biomedicine.
