Risk code 346 – Renal Disease
- Any renal disease including pyelonephritis and persistent proteinuria, but excluding urinary tract infections involving the bladder. Presence of condition, documented, or reported by a physician or someone working under a physician’s orders, or as self-reported by applicant/participant/caregiver.
What WIC Can Do:
- Provide individualized nutrition education in an easy-to-understand format that is appropriate for the learning level of the participant/caregiver. Most education materials should be written for a 5th to 7th grade reading level. Be sensitive to the unique learning needs and style of the participant/caregiver, which may mean using food models, posters, and handouts.
- Provide referrals to medical providers, Registered Dietitians, Health Care Providers, Peer Counselors, Certified Lactation Counselors, and other services, if available, in their community.
- Providing individualized food packages, tailored to meet the needs of participants.
