Hyperemesis gravidarum is caused by hormonal changes in pregnancy that lead to high levels of hCG, which can stimulate excessive electrolyte secretion and activate gastrointestinal mechanoreceptors, causing severe nausea, vomiting, and metabolic alkalosis. Predisposing factors include obesity, trophoblastic disease, race, heredity, and multiparity.
