Subclinical Stage

Stage 1
Mild Stage

Stage 2
Moderate Stage

Stage 3
Severe Stage

31
Q

No obvious signs and
symptoms. Impaired
lymph drainage is
subclinical. Lymphedema
may be present for
months to years before
progressing to later
stages.

A

Stage 0
Subclinical Stage

32
Q

Swelling is present.
Affected area pits with
pressure. Elevation
relieves swelling. Skin
texture is smooth.

A

Stage 1
Mild Stage

33
Q

Accumulation of fluid.
Skin may look tight,
skinny, and tissue may
have a spongy feel.
Pitting may or may not be
present as tissue fibrosis
begins to develop.
Elevation does not
alleviate the swelling.

Hair loss or nails
changes may be
experienced in the
affected extremity. This is
an irreversible stage.

A

Stage 2
Moderate Stage

34
Q

Lymphedema has
progressed to the
lymphostatic
elephantiasis stage, at
which the lymph is very
large. Affected area is
non pitting, often with
permanent edema. Skin
folds develop. Risk of
cellulitis, infections,
