    Predisposing factors for hyperemesis gravidarum include obesity and a history of HG. Precipitating factors are elevated blood sugar and elevated levels of the hormone HCG during pregnancy. Excessive HCG can stimulate the secretion of electrolytes, leading to signs and symptoms of severe nausea, vomiting, appetite disturbance, dehydration, weight loss, and dry skin associated with hyperemesis gravidarum.
