Vatican Reports on Pope’s Mild Kidney Failure Symptoms
Pope Francis, aged 88, remains in critical condition at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital due to double pneumonia and a complex lung infection. Recent blood tests have indicated early signs of kidney failure, which are currently under control.
Despite his critical state, the Pope is alert and well-oriented, having participated in Mass from his hospital room. He continues to receive high-flow oxygen therapy and has undergone blood transfusions to address anemia and a low platelet count.
The Vatican has dismissed rumors of his resignation, focusing instead on his recovery. Globally, the Catholic community is offering prayers for his health, with significant support emanating from Latin America, his region of origin.
