Resumen
La esterilidad sin causa aparente (ESCA) representa un desafío en la práctica diaria en el consultorio de fertilidad, que afecta a un porcentaje considerable de parejas que buscan concebir. Investigaciones recientes han señalado a la inflamación crónica de bajo grado como un factor contribuyente a la infertilidad, y sugieren que la evaluación de biomarcadores inflamatorios podría ser esencial para el diagnóstico y tratamiento. Este artículo revisa la evidencia actual sobre la inflamación de bajo grado, el microbioma intestinal, la disbiosis intestinal, los biomarcadores inflamatorios, fundamentos de alimentación antinflamatoria y nutrigenómica, además de ofrecer recomendaciones sobre hábitos de vida, probióticos y suplementos nutricionales personalizados.
