Doctors missed kidney warning in Maradona
The legendary Argentine footballer Diego Maradona passed away in 2020 due to heart failure and acute pulmonary edema, after suffering from a chronic kidney disease that was believed to have been a warning sign for his doctors. A nephrologist testifying in court confirmed that his declining kidney condition was not adequately monitored during his recovery period, and that daily tests and monitoring should have been performed because of his weight gain and high blood pressure — factors linked to his previous drug use and cocaine abuse. His medical team faces charges of criminal negligence, with the possibility of a prison sentence of up to 25 years if proven guilty. The trial, which began in August, is expected to continue until September.
