Doctors overlooked Maradona’s kidney issues
A kidney specialist testified before the court that the kidney failure experienced by football legend Diego Maradona should have served as a warning sign to his doctors. He explained that Maradona, who died at the age of 60 after recovering from surgery due to a stroke, suffered from chronic kidney disease. It was expected that he would undergo daily blood tests and receive ongoing nursing care during his two-week recovery period. The specialist confirmed that weight gain, high blood pressure, and lesions in the kidneys were clear indicators of his condition worsening, and that neglecting these signs was a major factor in his death. A trial is currently underway for seven healthcare workers accused of negligence, although the defendants deny being responsible for Maradona’s death. The proceedings are expected to continue until next September.
