Hugo Chavez in hospital 'for kidney failure'
Hugo Chavez, who has been fighting cancer, was rushed to a military hospital for emergency care following kidney failure, according to reports.
1:33PM BST 29 Sep 2011
The leftist, staunchly anti-US stalwart Chavez went into the Military Hospital in Caracas on Tuesday morning, the report on the newspaper's website said, citing anonymous sources with knowledge of the case.
"He was in fairly serious overall condition," a source told the Miami-based Spanish-language daily. "When he arrived, he was in quite serious shape and that is why he was brought in for emergency care."
Venezuela's Information Minister Andres Izarra appeared to deny the report in a posting on the micro-blogging website Twitter.
"Those who should be admitted are the journalists of the Nuevo Herald, except into a madhouse (instead of a hospital)," Izarra tweeted, without providing further details.
On Sunday, Chavez sought to assure Venezuelans he was healthy, telling them that cancer-fighting chemotherapy treatment has not left him with any debilitating side effects.

What a great morning! Zero is trying sell seats to his teleprompter gathering for $3 and hugo is on his death bed!
Who would succeed him? I can’t imagine his cadres would permit another risky election, even with a doddering Jimmy Carter eagerly standing by to rubberstamp it.
And the members of Code Pink are bawling at this news!
The Chinese can supply any number of organs...
I’ve heard the going price is $250,000 for a kidney.
Looks like multi-organ faiure is coming fast. Soon he will be TF squared (too F****d To Fix). I wonder if he can smell sulfur?
If Hallmark had a ‘Get dead soon’ card, I would send him one.
Sounds like that quality Cuban chemotherapy knocked out his kidneys.
I bet he won’t make it to halloween.
It will be quite a scene.......his victims standing with St. Peter at the purly gates as he’s quickly dispatched.
My dog was in such pain at that point that I put him down, they can't do that with Chavez, instead he will be in unbelievable pain, they'll just drug him up until he's gone.
BEST Powers Boothe role ever.
(How's that working out for you, Hugo? Viva La Revolución!)
Maybe God is as sick of Hugo as we are.
Looks like there may be a job opening up in Venal-zuela. If we get lucky, Obie will seize the opportunity and apply. It’s already communist, so he wouldn’t have to continue messing with all the hassle of ‘fundamental transformation’ he’s contending with here in the USA.
"I think I just shit my liver! Quick! Somebody call the Kosovo Prime Minister to order me a new one!"
With his body full of Chemo drugs, and the kidneys failing...couple things might happen. Chemo Drugs will take his life without being able to eliminate them and the body will continue to shut down....or they’ll do a bone marrow transplant or kidney transplant.
Not sure his body will withstand surgery since he was in his final dose of chemo...
Not doubt they will be pulling every medical proceedure possible to get a handle on this.
Will King Barry attend his funeral?
