Kim Kardashian Discloses Esophagitis Diagnosis Amid Family Health History
Kim Kardashian revealed in the trailer for Season 8 of The Kardashians that she has been diagnosed with esophagitis, an inflammation of the esophagus lining. This diagnosis resonates deeply due to her father Robert Kardashian's death from esophageal cancer in 2003. While the conditions affect the same area, esophagitis and esophageal cancer are distinct, with no indication Kim has cancer. The trailer shows emotional family reactions but does not specify the esophagitis type or cause.
