DILI can cause kidney injury (kidney gets overwhelmed by prolonged liver toxicity). This goes back to the first hospitalization and that inappropriate and prolonged cefazolin use. Sometimes lawsuits focus myopically on timing rather than root cause. The 2nd hospitalization was consequent to the first one, yet only the 2nd got blamed.
