Social determination of alcohol use and implications in liver transplant treatment

Abstract:

This article seeks to reflect through the materialist-historical-dialectical prism on the use of alcohol in capitalism and its impact on treatment in liver transplantation. Interviews were conducted with subjects who experience this reality, allowing evidence that in the capitalist dynamics, the sickness of the subjects, their confrontations and human health itself are characterized as insignificant in the face of the contradictory cycle of mercantile realization.

Keywords:
Alcohol; Capitalism; Social repercussions; Illness; Liver transplant
