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
Genetics
- Hyperemesis gravidarum is transmitted in dominant pattern.
- Gene 1B-alpha2Y is highly associated with hyperemesis gravidarum and twin pregnancies.
Associated Conditions
The most important conditions associated with hyperemesis gravidarum include:
