Grading of severity
The severity of esophagitis is commonly classified into four grades according to the Los Angeles Classification:[1][2]
| Grade A | One or more mucosal breaks < 5 mm in maximal length |
| Grade B | One or more mucosal breaks > 5mm, but without continuity across mucosal folds |
| Grade C | Mucosal breaks continuous between > 2 mucosal folds, but involving less than 75% of the esophageal circumference |
| Grade D | Mucosal breaks involving more than 75% of esophageal circumference |
