Kim Kardashian has revealed that she was hospitalised after being diagnosed with esophagitis, an inflammation of the esophagus. The health scare is featured in the newly released trailer for Season 8 of The Kardashians. Kim’s diagnosis has an emotional connection to her late father, Robert Kardashian, who died from esophageal cancer in 2003. However, esophagitis and esophageal cancer are different medical conditions, and the trailer does not indicate that Kim has cancer. The revelation has brought renewed attention to Kim Kardashian health news and her family’s long-standing focus on esophageal health.Why Kim Kardashian Was HospitalizedIn the Season 8 trailer, Kim is shown discussing her diagnosis before appearing in a hospital gown.
