A specialist tells an Argentinian court that Diego Maradona’s doctors missed renal warning signs before the football legend dies in 2020. The court hears that kidney problems—described as a crucial “red flag”—should have prompted earlier intervention or treatment decisions.
The case is being handled through a second trial, according to outlets covering the proceedings. Both reports frame the testimony around whether medical staff properly recognized the seriousness of his kidney condition as it worsened. The coverage focuses on the alleged gap between the late stages of his renal health and the care provided, with attention on what doctors knew, what they documented, and what clinical actions should have followed.
While the outlets agree on the central accusation—that renal failure indicators were not sufficiently treated as urgent—differences are limited in the accounts provided. Both also treat the testimony as part of a broader judicial effort to determine potential medical responsibility in Maradona’s death.
