What is esophagitis?
New York Post • • general
Key Points:
- Kim Kardashian revealed in a trailer for “The Kardashians” Season 8 that she has been diagnosed with esophagitis, an inflammation of the esophagus, which has caused concern within her family.
- While her condition may be related to the esophageal cancer that claimed her father’s life, the risk of esophagitis developing into cancer is considered low.
- Esophagitis can be caused by acid reflux (GERD), certain medications, infections, or rare chronic conditions like eosinophilic esophagitis, and symptoms include heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and sore throat.
- Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause with medications and lifestyle changes, and the esophagus can often heal once irritation is managed.
- Further details about Kim’s specific diagnosis and treatment are expected when the new season of “The Kardashians” premieres on Hulu on October 8.
