The death of Edson Arantes do Nascimento was caused by kidney failure, heart failure, bronchopneumonia and colon adenocarcinoma, according to the death certificate registered this Friday morning (30).
Heart failure occurs when the heart is no longer pumping enough blood to meet the body’s needs. It can cause shortness of breath, swelling and blood pooling in the lungs.
In kidney failure, the kidneys lose their ability to filter blood, removing and balancing fluids in the body. The disease can cause loss of appetite, swelling in the feet, face and ankles, and dry skin.
Bronchopneumonia is a type of inflammation that acts specifically on the internal structures of the lung, such as the bronchi and alveoli, responsible for dispersing air between all regions of the lungs. The advance of the disease affects the whole organ, leading to shortness of breath, weakness, paleness and fever.
Colon adenocarcinoma is cancer of the large intestine. It was Pelé’s primary tumor, diagnosed at the end of August 2021 and operated on in early September. The term is derived from the parts “adeno”, meaning gland, and “carcinoma”, meaning cancer.
