🩺 Dialysis: What You Should Know

Dialysis helps your kidneys remove waste and excess fluid when they can’t do it on their own. It’s a life-saving treatment that supports overall health and prevents dangerous buildup in the body.

Common reasons someone may need dialysis:
• Chronic kidney disease
• Severe high blood pressure
• Diabetes-related kidney damage
• Sudden kidney failure

What dialysis helps with:
• Cleans the blood
• Balances electrolytes
• Controls blood pressure
• Removes excess fluid

If you’re experiencing swelling, fatigue, nausea, or changes in urination, early evaluation is important.

Pulmonary Fibrosis: What You Should Know 🫁
Pulmonary Fibrosis is a chronic lung condition that causes scarring of the lung tissue, making it difficult for oxygen to move into the bloodstream. Over time, this scarring becomes worse and leads to shortness of breath, fatigue, and reduced lung function.

At Shelton Hospitalist Group, Dr. Shelton is committed to providing compassionate care, early evaluation, and personalized management plans to help patients navigate this challenging condition.

Common Symptoms Include:
✔️ Shortness of breath (especially during activity)
✔️ Chronic dry cough
✔️ Fatigue or weakness
✔️ Unexplained weight loss
✔️ Chest discomfort
✔️ Widening or rounding of the fingertips (clubbing)

Ways to Manage Pulmonary Fibrosis:
✨ Early evaluation and regular follow-up with a provider
✨ Oxygen therapy to support breathing
✨ Pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung endurance
✨ Medications that slow disease progression
✨ Healthy lifestyle habits—staying active, avoiding smoke exposure, and eating nutritious foods

If you or someone you love is experiencing symptoms, we’re here to help.

Understanding Verruca (Warts)

Verrucae, commonly known as warts, are small, noncancerous skin growths caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). While usually harmless, they can be uncomfortable, persistent, and sometimes spread without proper care.

Common Signs & Symptoms
• Rough, raised bumps on the skin
• Tiny black dots (clotted blood vessels)
• Appearance on hands, feet, knees, or elbows
• Pain or tenderness when located on weight-bearing areas (like plantar warts)

How They Spread
Verruca are contagious and can spread through:
• Direct skin-to-skin contact
• Shared surfaces (gym floors, bathrooms, pools)
• Nail biting or picking at existing warts

Treatment Options
• Topical medicated therapies
• Cryotherapy (freezing)
• Prescription-strength treatments
• Minor in-office procedures for persistent or painful lesions

Early evaluation helps prevent spreading and speeds healing. If you notice a persistent wart or skin growth, we’re here to help.

✅ Stay hydrated—drink plenty of water
✅ Stand up slowly to avoid dizziness
