Point and goals : The point of this investigation was to evaluate the serum level of solvent silencer tumorginicty 2 (sST2) in pregnant ladies convoluted with toxemia contrasting and evidently solid pregnant ladies. Techniques: Eighty ladies took care of Benha University Hospitals were isolated into two gatherings; Group (I): Fourty toxemia tolerant , Group (II): Fourty solid subjects as control. Results: Serum sST2 was essentially higher in toxemia cases instead of the obviously solid pregnant controls (P <0.001). End : sST2 might be helpful in conclusion of ladies compilicated by toxemia.
