Surgeries and diet regimes to lose weight might on some occasions turn fatal, as was the case of actress Mishti Mukherjee, who had died of a kidney failure caused by the keto diet she was following.
On October 2, 2020, Mishti Mukherjee who has worked in several films and music videos, had died in a hospital in Bengaluru. As per the reports, she was suffering from a kidney ailment. She made her Bollywood debut with the film Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi in 2012. According to a representative of the actress, her kidney failure was caused by the keto diet she was using.
The Keto diet regime is based on a high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carb diet. The main aim of this diet plan is to lose weight by achieving ketosis. Though the weight loss is definite, several studies have indicated that this diet can have an adverse effect on the health as it puts a lot of stress on the kidneys. Stones in kidneys are common among those who follow the Keto diet for a longer duration. Those who already have kidney disease are not recommended to follow the Keto diet.
