Abstract
Pre-eclampsia and eclampsia are defined as pregnancy-induced hypertension associated with edema at late
pregnancy, which is usually one of the most common cause of maternal and fetal mortality and its diagnosis is based on
the exact diagnosis of grade of edema, that has already been done by the traditional pitting method. This study discusses
the analysis of the diagnosis of edema by traditional pitting method compared to Miro device. According to the results
obtained by analyzing prevalence of patients compared to using the miro device and traditional method (Grade 2:30%
and grade 3: 40%), 70% of patients were detected accurately and quickly by miro pitting edema device, and timely
treatment has been done for patients with high reliability.
