Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Can it cause death?

Introduction

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is defined as intractable vomiting and nausea during pregnancy, and considered to be a rare and threatening pregnancy disease. Ptyalism, fatigue, weakness and dizziness are predominant symptoms, whilst other symptoms also include hyperolfaction, dysgeusia, decreased gustatory discernment, insomnia, depression, anxiety, irritability and mood changes. Although >75% of pregnant women suffer from nausea or vomiting during pregnancy, only 2% pregnant women are diagnosed with HG. The most frequent reasons for hospital admission in women diagnosed with HG include weight loss (>5% pre‑pregnancy weight), ketonuria, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, acid‑base imbalances and arrhythmias (1‑4). 

Antai Hospital currently offers an effective treatment for all HG patients, sufferers and survivors with the HG-vaccine also known as the hCG-Desensitizer, that guarantees recovery and a smooth pregnancy for you.

Cause

The pathogenesis of HG is due to a hypersensitization towards hCG (the pregnancy hormone) binding with abnormal receptors situated in trigger zones regulating sleep, vomit, nausea, muscle contraction etc. It commonly occurs during pregnancy in the first trimester, and grows in severity throughout the pregnancy, and subsequent pregnancies. Currently, the known risk factor for HG is family history. 

The list of complications noted in HG are classified as complications associated with pregnancy [malnutrition, anemia, hypona‑ tremia, Wernicke’s encephalopathy (WE), kidney failure, central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), stroke, vasospasms of cerebral arteries, seizures, coagulopathy, hypoglycemia, esophageal rupture or perforation, hepatic disease, jaundice, pancreatitis, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, rhabdomyolysis, vitamin K deficiency and coagulopathy, splenic avulsion, depression and post‑traumatic stress disorder], complica‑ tions associated with central nutrition (sepsis, fungemia, tamponade, local infection, venous thrombosis, fatty infiltration of the placenta and transaminitis) and small gestation infant size and weight.

Can Hyperemesis cause death?

Hyperemesis gravidarum is in fact a life-threatening disorder that can cause maternal and fetal death if not managed effectively. Before current management, although still ineffective compared to Antai’s proprietary HG vaccine, can still to a certain extent manage the severity of Hyperemesis Gravidarum and reduce the risk of maternal death. Conventional approaches can guarantee symptoms are eliminated, they still exhibit themselves. 

However, occurence of maternal morbidity via hyperemesis are still existent due to either poor healthcare managements, lack of emphases or not receiving timely support. Antai Hospital’s HG vaccine can effectively secure maternal & fetal life, and ensure that you have a smooth remainder of your pregnancy. Patients and medical professionals alike must place high emphasis on the immediate diagnosis and treatment of this condition and have it managed quickly, to avoid life-threatening complications or a risk of miscarriage.

Here at Antai Hospital, we firmly believe that an effective treatment only comes with an accurate diagnosis. To effectively treat Hyperemesis, we must treat all the root causes as shown below:

Desensitizer treatment

• It is an Antai proprietary prescription medication (compound medication) administered orally or via injections. Depending on your Hyperemesis’ severity, we may issue the desensitizer throughout your pregnancy until you begin to recover.
• The prescription desensitizer is easy to administer and:
  1. It does not produce side effects.
  2. It is not teratogenic.
  3. It is highly effective.

Progesterone Supplementary Treatment

• We will administer progesterone supplementary treatment to boost your progesterone levels to healthy conditions. Antai Hospital has specialized methods to accurately determine the exact amount of progesterone that is required.
• Supplement any other insufficient pregnancy hormones (Thyroid hormones, estrogen, PLT, etc.) to healthy levels to sustain a healthy pregnancy.

Treatment for Hyperthyroidism

• Antithyroid medication such as methimazole may be administered to reduce the over-activity of the thyroid glands, but it is not a must.
• Hyperthyroidism usually goes away once Hyperemesis is treated.

Immunity factors

If you test positive for the anti-embryonic antibodies, Antai hospital will administer its patented and highly effective immunotherapy to treat and prevent future recurrent immunological miscarriage.
