Sakitamiwa Classification ((hot))

The Sakita-Miwa classification is a widely used system in gastroenterology for staging the progression and healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers. First described by Sakita and Miwa, this classification helps clinicians determine whether an ulcer is in an active, healing, or scarring phase based on its endoscopic appearance. The Six Stages of Sakita-Miwa Classification

A2 (Active 2): The edema at the ulcer margin begins to subside, and the "lip-like sign" is less prominent. The ulcer base remains covered with slough. 2. Healing Stage (Stage H)

carries a higher risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, necessitating aggressive acid-suppression therapy or even endoscopic intervention. Conversely, reaching the sakitamiwa classification
