Nick Cannon’s health scare is far from over.

The 31-year-old has opened up about his recent hospitalization, telling People that his kidney, blood clot and heart woes are a result of a "lupus-type" autoimmune disorder that he will have to live with for the rest of his life.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Mariah Carey’s husband was hospitalized at the beginning of the year, for what he described as, "major issues with my kidneys, along with some other stuff" as a result of overworking his body with bad sleep and eating habits.

But, despite his earlier reassurances that he’s back to full health it seems he still has a way to go. “They kind of say my autoimmune disease is—like a lupus type of thing, but no one else in my family has it," he told People.

"The blood clot thing was probably the scariest because ... I've known people who have passed away from that. I thought I was getting better, and then that happened, so that kind of came out of nowhere."
