Severe

Also written as: Grade 3, Marked

Simple Meaning

The highest grade of a finding — needing timely specialist attention.

Where it appears in reports

On imaging, echo, and graded findings across reports.

Why it matters

Severe gradings usually change management — earlier appointments, treatment decisions, sometimes procedures. Don't sit on a severe finding; book the follow-up promptly.

Doctor advice needed

Report words describe findings — they are not diagnoses. What "Severe" means for you depends on your symptoms, history, and other results. Always review your report with your doctor.
