Background:Pre‐eclampsia is an idiopathic hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, it seems that failure of trophoblast invasion and induction of placental inflammation lead to the production of CA-125 , hence can be used for identification of pre-eclampsia.
Objectives: This study aims at measuring maternal serum CA-125 with the possibility of being used in early diagnosis of sever preeclampsia so it maybe used as a marker of the severity of the disease.
