(BlackDoctor.org) — Nick Cannon is out of the hospital after battling what wife Mariah Carey called “mild kidney failure.”
After undergoing successful treatment, the America’s Got Talent host was released from Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over the weekend and is already plotting his return to the airwaves.
The entertainer was hospitalized in Aspen, Colo., last week after he fell ill while the couple was on vacation there. He was transferred to a Los Angeles hospital a few days later.
In a statement Monday, Cannon’s publicist Tracy Nguyen said he “was released over the weekend to be with his family. He is resting and recovering at home and would like to thank everyone who has expressed concern, well wishes and prayers. He plans to return to his live morning radio show broadcast Rollin’ with Nick Cannon on 92.3 NOW FM on January 17th, 6-10am EST.”
Cannon was first hospitalized with “mild kidney failure” early last week while he and Carey were vacationing in Aspen. He was transferred to Cedars, where he received a haircut and underwent surgery.
“Recovering… about to be stronger than ever! #Ncredible!” Nick Cannon tweeted Friday.
Carey wrote yesterday, apparently from home: “Up w/NC watching @BishopJakes -a true inspiration as always. Nick is getting better+we love+appreciate all the ongoing kind words!”

2. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney failure, get your blood and urine checked for kidney disease.
3. Help educate your faith-based community about the kidney connection.
4. Use spices, herbs and sodium-free seasonings in place of salt.
5. For those recently diagnosed with kidney disease, find out about the basics of kidney disease and what it means for you.
6. Talk to loved ones with diabetes and high blood pressure about getting tested for kidney disease.
Remember that if you have additional questions about how to protect your kidneys, always consult with your doctor.
