Pope Francis remains in 'critical' condition, says Vatican

Pope Francis' condition remains "critical," the Vatican said Sunday, noting that he has not experienced further respiratory issues.

In a statement, the Vatican confirmed that the Pope received two units of concentrated red blood cells, which had a beneficial effect and led to an increase in his hemoglobin levels. While thrombocytopenia remains stable, some early signs of renal insufficiency have appeared, though they are being actively managed, the statement added.
