Maradona trial: Expert stands by conclusions despite medical test confusion

Diego Maradona's death trial resumed on Thursday, with an expert reassessing the confusion over his medical tests, which did not alter his chronic kidney disease diagnosis. The proceedings, which began in April, could continue until at least September, with seven healthcare professionals accused of homicide. The nephrologist, Hernán Trimarchi, confirmed Maradona suffered from chronic kidney disease prior to his death in November 2020.

The nephrologist, cardiologist, and several members of Maradona's medical team are on trial. The renal tests examined by the experts contributed to a medical panel's report that played a crucial role in bringing the case to trial.
