The Truth About MILLETS for Kidney Failure Patients | Millets and Kidney Health | Renal Diet Plan Millets are widely seen as a healthy alternative to rice and wheat, especially for people managing diabetes and weight loss. But for Kidney failure patients, switching to millets may do more harm than good. Many patients are unaware of how this change can negatively impact kidney function and overall health. In this video, Dr. Puru Dhawan explains why millet consumption, though generally healthy, can be risky for patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). He outlines how millets affect protein levels, creatinine, and energy balance, and why strength, not weight loss, should be the top priority for CKD patients.

This makes them effective for managing weight and blood sugar, but they come with hidden risks for CKD patients. Why They’re a Problem – In kidney failure, switching from rice/wheat to millets reduces carbohydrate intake and increases fiber intake. This forces the body to use protein for energy "while protein is already being lost in urine." The result? "Severe protein deficiency, fatigue, and muscle loss." Creatinine Confusion – Initially, creatinine levels may drop due to rapid weight loss. But this stresses already weak kidneys. Soon after, creatinine spikes sharply, sometimes jumping from 3 to 7 or 8, making treatment extremely difficult and leaving patients too weak for dialysis or transplant. Key Points & Prevention: Millets are not safe for all CKD patients — especially those who are underweight, weak, or have low protein levels. Temporary creatinine improvement is misleading — extreme weight loss can worsen kidney health. Strength is more important than weight loss in kidney failure recovery. Instead of millets, opt for kidney-friendly fruits and vegetables that are easier to digest and provide balanced energy. If you're managing kidney failure, make diet changes carefully and with proper guidance. For more details on kidney-safe foods, check out other videos on our channel. This concludes our video.
