Overview CLINICAL ACTIVITIES Nicholas Kolaitis specializes in pulmonary and critical care medicine, with a focus on lung transplantation and pulmonary hypertension. He is one of the attending physicians on the inpatient lung transplantation service, where he cares for patients with advanced lung disease before and after lung transplantation. His outpatient clinical time is split between three clinics (1) the lung transplantation clinic, where he sees patients with advanced lung disease before and after transplantation, (2) the pulmonary hypertension clinic, where he sees patients with pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary emboli, and (3) the general pulmonary clinic, where he supervises the excellent care provided by fellows in the UCSF Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellowship Program.
RESEARCH PURSUITS Nicholas Kolaitis' research focuses on ways to improve health-related quality of life for patients with advanced lung disease.
