Hebrew term or phrase: רעלה הריונית
I assume they mean רעלת הריון but am unsure if this is mostly translated to toxemia or pre-eclampsia, or something else if my assumption is wrong.

My medical dictionary gives both definitions but according to Wikipedia:

"You may encounter other names like toxemia, PET (pre-eclampsia/toxemia) and PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension) EPH gestosis (edema, proteinuria, hypertension), but these designations are all outdated terms and no longer used by medical experts."
