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

• According to the society of Fetal Urology, hydronephrosis is graded into 4 on the basis of ultrasound findings

Grade 0	No renal pelvis dilation	Anteroposterior diameter of less than 4 mm in fetuses
Grade 1	Mild renal pelvis dilation	Anteroposterior diameter less than 10 mm in fetuses
Grade 2	Moderate renal pelvis dilation	Anteroposterior diameter between 10 and 15 mm in fetuses
Grade 3	Renal pelvis dilation along with all calyces dilatation
Grade 4	Renal pelvis dilation along with all calyces dilatation with thinning of the renal parenchyma
