Chest Clinic (Pulmonology)
Chest Clinic
The Stanford Chest Clinic includes a broad group of general and subspecialized pulmonologists. Our specialized programs are located across the Bay Area and provide the convenience of seeing a Stanford specialist in your community.
Our pulmonologists offer expert care for conditions including allergy and asthma, lung cancer detection and diagnosis, airway disease, and pulmonary hypertension. They also treat advanced lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis and lung transplant.
Conditions Treated
Adult cystic fibrosis
Adult-onset of a hereditary disorder affecting the exocrine glands, causes the overproduction of thick mucus which can block pancreatic ducts, intestines and lungs, resulting in respiratory infection.
Allergies
Sensitivities to a substance, food, or environment that produce an immune response in your body.
Asbestosis
A lung disease resulting from the inhalation of asbestos particles, marked by severe fibrosis and a high risk of mesothelioma (cancer of the pleura).
Asthma
A common chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by variable and recurring symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.
Bronchiectasis
A lung condition that causes persistent cough and excess phlegm; it is defined by localized, irreversible widening of the bronchial tree - the airways widen, become flabby and scarred.
Bronchitis
Inflammation or swelling of the bronchial tubes (bronchi), the air passages between the nose and the lungs.
Cancer
The uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body.
Chronic cough
Chronic cough is defined as lasting eight weeks or longer in adults; causes vary from mild to serious underlying medical conditions.
COPD/emphysema
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common lung diseases characterized by two main forms: Chronic bronchitis, a long-term cough with mucus, or emphysema, destruction of the lungs over time.
Fungal infections
An inflammatory condition caused by a fungus.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD)
A large group of lung diseases and disorders which cause progressive scarring of lung tissue, often resulting in permanent loss of that tissue's ability to breathe and carry oxygen into the bloodstream.
Lymphangioleimyomatosis
A rare lung disease that results in a proliferation of disorderly smooth muscle growth throughout the lungs.
Pneumonia
An inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the microscopic air sacs known as alveoli; usually caused by infection with viruses or bacteria and less commonly other microorganisms, certain drugs and other conditions such as autoimmune diseases.
Pulmonary embolism
A blood clot that develops in a blood vessel elsewhere in the body (most commonly from the leg), travels to an artery in the lung, and forms blockage of the artery.
Pulmonary Hypertension
High blood pressure that occurs in the arteries in the lungs, reflecting the pressure the heart must exert to pump blood from the heart through the arteries of the lungs.
Sarcoidosis
A disease that results from a specific type of inflammation of tissues of the body. It can appear in almost any body organ, but it starts most often in the lungs or lymph nodes.
