About of Edmund M. Lau

Edmund M. Lau is a Pulmonologist based on Missenden Road in Camperdown, NSW 2050. He looks after people with breathing problems and long-term lung conditions, but also helps when things suddenly get worse, like with pneumonia or sudden breathlessness.


In day to day care, Dr Lau works with patients who have asthma and other ongoing lung issues. He also sees people with lung scarring and stiffness, such as interstitial lung disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Over time, these conditions can affect how well you breathe and how much oxygen your body can use, so getting the right checks and treatment matters.


He also focuses on the blood and oxygen side of lung health. That can include pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary oedema, and pulmonary embolism. Some people present with oxygen drops and poor oxygen flow, including cerebral hypoxia, and there are conditions listed that can be linked with heart and lung circulation problems, like atrial septal defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale.


Dr Lau’s practice includes care for more complex and less common conditions too. For example, cystic fibrosis, protein C and protein S deficiencies, scleroderma, systemic sclerosis (SSc), and mixed connective tissue disease can all impact lungs in different ways. At times, he also helps with disorders that affect sleep and breathing, such as obstructive sleep apnoea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), plus restless legs syndrome where it’s part of the bigger picture.


There are also serious, time-critical situations that come up in pulmonology. His service list includes acute interstitial pneumonia and lung transplant care for suitable patients. He also provides care alongside treatment planning for issues like heart failure and Eisenmenger syndrome, where lung circulation can be affected as well.


Education and experience details aren’t listed here, so there’s limited information to share about training dates or years. Clinical trials details also aren’t provided. Still, the range of conditions in his service list shows a broad focus, from everyday breathing issues right through to advanced lung care when needed.
