Description

Chronic Failures: Kidneys, Regimes of Care, and the Mexican State offers a deep look into the realities of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). This book explores the difficult search for renal care within the context of poverty, social inequality, and uneven welfare arrangements. Through ethnographic research conducted in the state of Jalisco, the text documents the specific paths uninsured Mexican patients must navigate to access resource-intensive biotechnical treatments. Readers will learn about the various modes of dialysis and organ transplantation used by patients struggling to find support. The work examines how these routes become normalized through bureaucratic, social, and epidemiological processes. It provides a detailed perspective on how medical care is accessed and managed when faced with systemic challenges. This title is an important resource for those studying medical anthropology and the social impacts of healthcare systems in Mexico.
