Nick Cannon has opened up about his health problems after he was hospitalized for kidney failure in January and then treated for blood clots in his lungs the following month.

The “America’s Got Talent” host has revealed he suffers from an autoimmune disease that is similar to Lupus.

Cannon says his kidney failure was the result of an ”autoimmune disease that [doctors] found in my system,” which is “like a Lupus type of thing.”

He says his kidney condition is ”something I’m going to be living with all my life.”

Cannon recently stepped down from his New York radio show to focus on his health.

The deejay told People, ”I feel blessed to be alive. If it wasn’t discovered, I don’t know [what would have happened].”

    leave the poor guy alone just because he chose to be open with his fans about his health issues doesn’t mean the press should be pouncing on it. not everything in a celebs life is meant for public consumption

    He doesn’t have Aids – and he’s not gay either. He has an auto immune disease (there are several) and he is very happily married to Mariah Carey.

  • popatop

    AIDS is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, not Auto-Immune Deficiency. And you don’t have to be gay to acquire HIV or AIDS. Nor does being gay mean you will develop HIV or AIDS.

    Get well Nick! Praying for you. You have children to raise. May God grant you good health and allow you to live a long life raising your children in His Holy Name; being obedient to His word.

  • Madmerchant

    it to bad u be fuckin stoopid to.

    I would suggest that you 1. figure out what an autoimmune illness is, 2. stop acting like a stupid shit–you obviously don’t know anything about “aides” or AIDS either. READ, if you can, or just Wiki everything. 3. Learn how to write basic English, or else tell your mommy to lock you out of websites designed for adults. Oh, and 4: if this reply of yours was meant to be cute, it wasn’t. You don’t know what you’re talking about. You wouldn’t know an autoimmune illness if it fucked you in the ass (yes, onna them homo comments to make my point clear, since you seem to be one of those poorly educated folks who think that anal rape jokes are funny). Do me a favor. If you’re stupid, just say so. If you’re ignorant, say so. If you have a shitty sense of humor, say so. If you’re all of the above, do the world a favor: shut your stupid, pathetic, ignorant fucking mouth and let the adults talk. People like you make me want to puke.

    Oh, and while you’re at it…fuck off, if you’re flexible enough. Go cow-tipping or ‘bangin,’ or whichever keeps you happy and far away from a computer. Go listen to some Rush Limbaugh, you idiots have a lot in common.

    The Lupus Research Institute (LRI) extends best wishes for recovery from kidney failure to Nick Cannon, multi-talented performer and husband to singer Mariah Carey. We are thankful that his lupus has been diagnosed properly, and on behalf of all patients with lupus appreciate his openness in discussing his battle with lupus nephritis.

    Difficult to diagnose and to treat, lupus is a chronic, often disabling autoimmune disease in which the immune system turns on itself and attacks virtually any organ or tissue in the body. More than 1.5 million Americans and millions worldwide, have lupus. African Americans are three times at risk for lupus than Caucasians.

    Please, never comment on anything ever again. Your gene pool should not exist for society’s sake

  • voss80

    Your comment at the very top about “AIDS” and “gay” sound extremely unreasonable and ghetto. Learn to proofread with some of your misspelled words before you go off talking bad about Nick.
