Overview
There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].
OR
[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].
OR
[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].
OR
Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.
OR
If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].
OR
The staging of [malignancy name] is based on the [staging system].
OR
There is no established system for the staging of [malignancy name].
Classification
The Renal Pathology Society/International Society of Nephrology (RPS/ISN) classification:
Minimal mesangial lupus nephritis (class I)
- Very rare.
- No microscopic finding.
- Identified on electron microscopy and immunofluorescence.
Mesangial proliferative lupus nephritis (class II)
- Microscopic Hematuria
- Proteinuria
- Hypercellularity in mesangium
- Light microscopy shows subendothelial deposits or segmental scars
- Immunofluorescence shows subepithelial or subendothelial deposits
- Good prognosis
Focal lupus nephritis (class III)
- Less than 50% glomeruli involved
- Hematuria
- Proteinuria
- Hypertension
- Uniform involvement on immunofluorescence[1]
- Subendothelial immune and mesangial deposits on electron microscopy[2]
Diffuse lupus nephritis (class IV)
Lupus membranous nephropathy (class V)
Advanced sclerosing lupus nephritis (class VI)
OR
- [Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups:
- [Group1]
- [Group2]
- [Group3]
- [Group4]
OR
- [Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on:
- [Classification method 1]
- [Classification method 2]
- [Classification method 3]
- [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on:
- [Classification method 1]
- [Classification method 2]
- [Classification method 3]
OR
- Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.
OR
- If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features:
- According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].
OR
- The staging of [malignancy name] is based on the [staging system].
OR
- There is no established system for the staging of [malignancy name].
