End stage renal disease
Pre-eclampsia
Pre-eclampsia
Pre-eclampsia is defined as new
hypertension and substantial
proteinuria after 20 weeks gestation.
Due to the unpredictable nature of
pre-eclampsia hypertensive women
must have their blood pressure
measured frequently.

Microlife provides validated blood
pressure monitors for patients with
end stage renal disease
Patients with moderate to severe renal disease have a very high incidence
of hypertension, paired with stiff (calcified) arteries. As automated measurements
can be influenced by stiff arteries, a special validation is required before blood
pressure monitors can be recommended for use among patients with end stage
renal disease.

Microlife WatchBP Home is accurate
for use in pregnancy and Pre-
eclampsia
Most oscillometric blood pressure monitors underestimate blood pressure in pre-
eclampsia. For this reason, oscillometric blood pressure monitors may only be
recommended for use in pregnancy when specifically tested in this special patient
group. The WatchBP Home allows pregnant women to measure their blood pressure
at home which could reduce the number of hospital visits and may help to make
motherhood safer.
