Hyperemesis Gravidarum is one of the most severe pregnancy complications that can occur during gestation, and is a common cause for preterm labor, miscarriages, and in rare cases, maternal and fetal morbidity. It is a form of severe and prolonged nausea and vomiting among other complications during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, up to 80% of women experience nausea and/or vomiting (N/V). For most women, N/V resolves by the 16th week of pregnancy. A severe and prolonged form of N/V, hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), affects 0.3–2% of pregnancies. The criteria that define HG include dehydration, ketonuria, and more than 5% weight loss. HG is the most common indication for hospital admission in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. Although it usually occurs between weeks 4 and 9 of pregnancy and resolves by mid-gestation, between 15 and 20% of women continue to experience symptoms until the third trimester and 5% through delivery.
Differentiate HG from Morning Sickness
HG patients exhibit vastly severe and distinct symptoms compared to morning sickness. For HG, there is an increased risk of electrolyte abnormalities (hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypochloremia), sustained weight loss, malnourishment, dehydration, severe vomiting, insomnia, depression, amongst several other severe neurological, cardiological complications.
Cause of Hyperemesis Gravidarum
In Antai Hospital’s experience in treating hyperemesis patients in over 2 decades, we believe the primary etiologic contributor to HG is the presence of these abnormal muscarinic receptors that bind with beta hCG molecules during gestation. The primary cause is the presence of these abnormal receptors systemically within HG sufferers, and the secondary cause is due to the pregnancy hormone hCG.
Maternal and Fetal Outcomes with HG
Women who develop HG during pregnancy are at a high risk of complications from the symptoms of HG, that can threaten maternal life if suitable and timely management is not received. Aside from the physical symptoms of HG, they are at risk of developing anxiety, trauma, depression and may voluntarily terminate the pregnancy to alleviate suffering.
HG associated fetus have a higher risk of preterm birth and potential abnormalities. They are at risk of low birth weight and small for gestational age infants. Furthermore, there is increase risk of the child to develop psychological and behavioral disorders towards later life.
Treatment of Hyperemesis at Antai Hospitals
Antai Hospital has formulated a highly effective treatment for Hyperemesis Gravidarum, that is administered intravenously to HG patients, and patient can effectively recover within less than a week. This treatment targets the HCG-receptors distributed systemically within the body, which is interacting and binding with HCG molecules during gestation. Best received before pregnancy, the treatment effectively blocks these abnormal HCG-receptors, so they do not bind with actual HCG molecules during pregnancy. With symptoms subsided to the point of full recovery, and patient can then continue for a safe pregnancy journey towards healthy labor.
