Background: Nausea and vomiting are often the first signs of pregnancy for the general public, especially because of the long menstrual cycle. Therefore, some pregnant women only realise their pregnancy after experiencing these symptoms.
Nausea and vomiting are common in pregnancy, but if they occur more than ten times a day, this condition is categorised as hyperemesis gravidarum or chronic nausea and vomiting. Hyperemesis gravidarum can cause carbohydrate reserves in the body to be used up as energy, so the body starts using fat and protein reserves. Due to incomplete fat burning, ketone bodies are formed in the blood, which can
aggravate clinical symptoms.
