King Pele, 74, was admitted to the Albert Einstein
Hospital in Sao Paolo on Tuesday for the second time in six months.
Pele, the three-time World Cup winner, was treated for a
urinary infection in November 2014 after having kidney stones removed.
He was named Fifa's Player of the Century and won 91 caps
for Brazil, scoring 77 goals.
Widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, he
scored a world record 1,281 goals in 1,363 appearances during his 21-year
career. He was awarded the FIFA Golden Ball as the best player at the 1970
tournament.
Pele has only one kidney, having had one removed towards the
end of his playing career
