Renal Specialist Claims Maradona's Care Was Inadequate

Renal specialist Hernan Trimarchi testified that Diego Maradona, who died in November 2020, should have been monitored daily by a physician, with routine blood tests and vital sign checks.

Trimarchi, the third specialist in the case, alleged that Maradona suffered from chronic kidney disease and that the medical team failed to detect warning signs. Seven healthcare workers, including Maradona's personal doctor, psychiatrist and nurses, have been charged with gross negligence since mid‑April and face up to 25 years in prison, though all deny wrongdoing. The trial, ongoing since April, is expected to conclude no earlier than September. capturengo.org
