SAO PAULO—Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro ’s kidney function worsened at the intensive care unit to which he was transferred hours earlier, a hospital in the capital, Brasilia, said Saturday. The 70-year-old leader also has pneumonia and doctors say his medical situation is serious, but stable.
Bolsonaro was sent to DF Star Hospital on Friday from the prison where he is serving a 27-year sentence for leading a coup attempt in 2023. The hospital also said in a statement that he has had an increase in inflammatory markers since treatment began.
