Kim Kardashian reveals esophagitis in Kardashians trailer, with health context

Kim Kardashian announces in the Kardashians season 8 trailer that she has esophagitis, an inflammation often linked to GERD. The clip shows her family reacting; the piece explains esophagitis symptoms (coughing, painful swallowing, heartburn, hoarseness, sore throat), risk factors like reflux, smoking, obesity, and certain medications, and notes that, unlike esophageal cancer (which her father died from), esophagitis is usually treatable. It mentions Barrett esophagus as a potential long-term consequence of chronic GERD. Season 8 premieres Oct. 8 on Hulu.

Kim Kardashian reveals in the Season 8 trailer for The Kardashians that she has esophagitis, a condition linked to esophageal cancer—the disease that killed her father, Robert Kardashian, in 2003. In the trailer, she’s shown in a hospital setting as a loved one notes her father’s death, while experts say esophagitis is not strongly tied to a hereditary cancer risk. The piece also recalls Kardashian’s prior health disclosures (including a brain aneurysm) and notes her family’s involvement in UCLA’s esophageal health center named in her father’s honor.

Kim Kardashian reveals she has esophagitis in the season eight trailer for The Kardashians. Medical experts say esophagitis is inflammation of the esophagus, most commonly due to reflux esophagitis linked to GERD; chronic acid exposure can lead to Barrett’s esophagus and may increase cancer risk. Diagnosis is typically via endoscopy. The Kardashian family previously helped establish UCLA’s Robert G. Kardashian Center for Esophageal Health in memory of their father, who died of esophageal cancer in 2003.
