What are the Risks and Challenges Associated with FMT?
Despite its efficacy, FMT is not without risks. Potential adverse effects include the transmission of infectious agents, immune reactions, and complications related to the procedure itself. The lack of standardized protocols for donor screening and stool preparation also poses significant challenges. Epidemiologists emphasize the need for rigorous clinical trials and long-term follow-up studies to better understand the safety profile of FMT.
