🦵 CEAP Clinical Class (C0–C6) Chronic Venous Disease
UseWhen to use: varicose vein / venous ulcer clinics documenting clinical class.
StrataC4–C6 imply skin damage/ulcer pathways and duplex mapping.
LimitsWhen not to use: arterial ulcer without venous context. · Pitfall: omitting duplex for C4+. · Not a sole ablation order.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Clinical class | C3 — edema |
|---|---|
| Symptomatic (pain, tightness, ache, heaviness) | Asymptomatic (a) |
→CEAPC3a
- Cue：Varicose/edema — consider duplex + compression
| Clinical class | C0 — no visible/palpable signs |
|---|---|
| Symptomatic (pain, tightness, ache, heaviness) | Asymptomatic (a) |
→CEAPC0a
- Cue：Mild cosmetic/early disease band

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does CEAP Clinical Class (C0–C6) Chronic Venous Disease upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is CEAP Clinical Class (C0–C6) Chronic Venous Disease calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Clinical class C3 — edema, Symptomatic (pain, tightness, ache, heaviness) Asymptomatic (a) → Result: CEAP C3a（Cue: Varicose/edema — consider duplex + compression） Inputs: Clinical class C0 — no visible/palpable signs, Symptomatic (pain, tightness, ache, heaviness) Asymptomatic (a) → Result: CEAP C0a（Cue: Mild cosmetic/early disease band）
