New Delhi: As Anna's fast enters ninth day and concerns over his health mount, here are the latest health updates:
11:10 am: The 74-year-old anti-corruption crusader has lost another 200 grams in the past 24 hours with his weight settling at 66.2 kg. He was 72 kg before he began his fast on August 16. His blood pressure was recorded at 104/86 while blood sugar was 106 and pulse rate 82.
"After his intake of fluid was increased, his health has stabilised. We have put the team of doctors on full alert. We are keeping a strict vigil on his health," Dr Naresh Trehan told reporters at the Ramlila Ground after examining him.
9:27 am: Dr Naresh Trehan: "We just examined Anna. He slept all right. Condition looks better after rest. In yesterday's blood tests seemed ketones are increasing and parameters deteriorating. We told him he should get admitted in hospital for safety. He refused outright and said I will not move from here. Then he agreed to intravenous to be kept out of danger zone and then said his conscience doesn't permit it. We recommended an increase in his water intake. That might help. And rest. He should not strain himself. We are worried that catabolic stage has started.
Blood test reports expected by afternoon.
