With both the Pope's decreased platelet count and mild kidney failure under control, the prognosis remains reserved, doctors have said.
The slight kidney insufficiency detected on Sunday was of no concern, the Vatican said, as the Pope continues to receive supplemental oxygen.
THE Vatican has issued a major health update on "critical" Pope Francis, saying there has been a slight improvement and that he has resumed some work activities.
A special prayer was made for Pope Francis by Archbishop Rino Fisichella who celebrated the Mass in the Pontiff's place in St Peter's Basilica.
Over the weekend he received blood transfusions to increase his platelet count, but tests showed he is also suffering from mild kidney failure, which is said to be under control.
