Diego Maradona Death Trial: Doctors missed renal red flag, court hears

  • On Tuesday, nephrologist Hernan Trimarchi told a San Isidro court that Diego Maradona's failing kidneys should have been a red flag for his medical team, claiming doctors missed crucial warning signs.
  • The 1986 World Cup star died of heart failure and acute pulmonary oedema on November 25, 2020, while convalescing in Tigre; Trimarchi testified that Maradona suffered from "chronic kidney disease."
  • According to Trimarchi, the patient should have undergone "daily medical check-ups, daily nursing care, blood tests and monitoring of his vital signs," yet no blood tests were performed during the two-week convalescence.
  • Seven healthcare professionals are accused of providing inadequate care, and the accused, who risk up to 25 years imprisonment if convicted, deny responsibility for the death of the Argentine icon.
  • Trimarchi is the third specialist to testify that medical staff ignored warning signs, adding weight to the criminal negligence case; the trial is expected to last until at least September.
