Pope Francis has shown an "initial, slight insufficiency" in his kidney function, the Vatican said on Sunday. Pope has been in hospital since February 14. The 88 year old is struggling with double pneumonia.
“The condition of the Holy Father remains critical, but since yesterday evening, he has not experienced any further respiratory crises. He received two units of concentrated red blood cells with beneficial effects, and his hemoglobin levels have risen. The thrombocytopenia remains stable; however, some blood tests show early, mild renal insufficiency, which is currently under control. High-flow oxygen therapy continues through nasal cannulas. The Holy Father remains alert and well-oriented," the Vatican released the medical update on Pope Francis adding that he had not experienced any more respiratory crises.
