Kim Kardashian Reveals Health Scare Related to Death of Her Dad Robert Kardashian
- On Thursday, Kim Kardashian revealed in the new trailer for The Kardashians that she has "something called esophagitis," an inflammation of the esophagus affecting the muscular tube connecting throat to stomach.
- Her late father, Robert Kardashian, died of esophageal cancer at age 59 in 2003; however, medical sources distinguish Kim's inflammatory condition from the terminal cancer that affected him.
- According to the Mayo Clinic, esophagitis causes "painful, difficult swallowing" or "chest pain" and often results from acid reflux. Left untreated, the condition can develop into Barrett's esophagus, increasing cancer risk.
- The Kardashian family established the UCLA Robert G. Kardashian Center for Esophageal Health to support research and treatment of esophageal disorders affecting their patriarch and now Kim.
- Kris Jenner, Kim's 70-year-old mother, expressed visible distress in the trailer, saying "I can't, it makes me want to cry." The Kardashians returns October 8 on Hulu for its eighth season.
