Pope Francis remains in critical condition, though his health has stabilized following recent treatment, according to the Vatican Press Office.
In a medical update released at 7:15 PM, officials confirmed the Pope experienced no further respiratory crises since yesterday.
A transfusion of two units of concentrated red blood cells has successfully restored his haemoglobin levels.
While his thrombocytopenia remains stable, tests reveal signs of mild renal insufficiency, currently under control.
The Pope continues to receive high-flow oxygen therapy through nasal cannulas but remains alert and well-oriented.
Despite the complexity of his condition, Pope Francis participated in Holy Mass this morning from his hospital apartment, joined by caregivers.
Doctors have kept his prognosis reserved as they await further response to treatment.
