Overview
Development of hyperemesis gravidarum is the result from multiple genetic mutations. Hyperemesis gravidarum usually develops during the 2nd trimester of pregnancy.
The pathophysiology of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is not entirely understood. It is believed to be associated with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy [5].
Pathogenesis
The pathophysiology of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy is not entirely understood. It is believed to be associated with [human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)], a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. [1]
According to most studies, it is believed to be multifactorial and related to some genetic, endocrine and gastrointestinal factors.
- Genetic:
- More commonly associated with female monozygotic twins
- Higher risk in patients whose mothers had HG
- Higher risk among patients that had history of HG in their first pregnancy [2]
- Endocrine:
- hCG, estrogen and progesterone are linked to nausea and vomiting in pregnancy [2]
- Patients that experience nausea and vomiting while taking combined oral contraceptive pills are more likely to develop HG in pregnancy. [3]
- Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone:
- Gastrointestinal:
