Analysis of GDF15 and IGFBP7 in Hyperemesis Gravidarum Support Causality.

Conclusion This study supports GDF15 and IGFBP7 in the pathogenesis of HG and may be useful for prediction and diagnosis. The GDF15-GFRAL brainstem-activated pathway was recently identified and therapies to treat conditions of abnormal appetite are under intense investigation. Based on our findings, HG should be included. PMID: 31000883 [PubMed]
