In the newly released trailer for the eighth season of The Kardashians, the mother of four revealed that she has "something called oesophagitis". In the adjacent clip, Kim is seen lying in a hospital bed, wearing a gown. Chronic oesophagitis is a common condition and often a result of acid reflux. According to the Mayo Clinic, oesophagitis is a "swelling and irritation, called inflammation, of the tissues that line the oesophagus, the muscular tube that carries food and drink from the mouth to the stomach."
