Kim Kardashian shared she has been diagnosed with esophagitis, a condition related to the de@th of her dad Robert Kardashian who di£d from oesophageal cancer in 2003.
The 45-year-old reality star disclosed the diagnosis in the trailer for the eighth season of The Kardashians.
E! News reported that she was shown in a hospital bed when someone off-camera asked whether it was the same condition that k!lled her father, to which she replied yes.
Esophagitis refers to inflammation and irritation of the tissue lining the oesophagus and, if left untreated, can progress to Barrett’s oesophagus, which is associated with an increased risk of oesophageal cancer.
Robert, who had four children with Kris Jenner — Kourtney, Kim, Khloé and Rob — died from oesophageal cancer in 2003 at the age of 59.
