Angel Urena, a spokesman for Clinton, stated Saturday that Clinton would be kept in hospital one more night to continue receiving intravenous antibiotics. Urena stated that all health indicators were trending in the right direction.

A former presidential aide said that Bill Clinton suffered from a urological condition that spread to his bloodstream. However, he is now well and has not been in septic shock. This could be life-threatening.
According to the aide, Clinton was being treated in the intensive care section but not ICU.
The former president has had many health problems since leaving the White House in 2001. After suffering from prolonged chest pains, shortness of breath and long-term chest pains in 2004, he had quadruple bypass surgery. In 2005, he was admitted to the hospital with a partially collapsed left lung. He had two stents placed in his coronary artery in 2010.
He decided to adopt a largely vegetarian diet, which helped him lose weight and improve his health.
Clinton returned repeatedly to the campaign trail, often supporting Democratic candidates. This included Hillary Clinton’s unsuccessful 2008 bid for the presidency. In 2016, Hillary Clinton was seeking the White House as Democratic nominee. Her husband, a grandfather who was nearing 70, returned to the campaign trail.
