Creatinine is a by-product of muscular metabolism. In the natural and normal scheme of things, this substance or waste product can be eliminated from the body. A high-serum creatinine level may cause kidney damage. In relation to the above question as to how high can creatinine levels go before death, it must be noted that kidneys have strong compensatory ability and by that as long as its still 50 percent functional, creatinine level won't be that high. Which leads us to a conclusion that, the lesser the kidney function level is, the higher the creatinine level.

On the other hand for the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is the most stable blood constituent following death as it reaches antemortem (before death) levels and even after moderate decomposition.

Therefore, as long as the kidneys are functional, regardless of other factors such as the patient's condition/ diagnosis, these blood constituents are nearly normal.

Assume that you are a national official with the power to set policy for controlling environmental mercury pollution (Core Case

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The policy for controlling environmental mercury pollution should address ways to prevent and control this pollution. Policy:

Ban the incineration of waste
Require that coal-burning companies remove mercury from the coal
Allocate funds towards research and development for renewable energy resources in the hopes of switching away from coal.
Require that products containing mercury be labeled as such.
Set up programs that will recycle batteries and mercury-filled products.
Set up education programs that will help inform people about mercury pollution.

This policy works by addressing the ways to prevent and control mercury pollution.

Three problems that could result from implementing this policy:

Backlash from coal-burning companies.
It could take a while before we completely shift away from using coal.
Some of the programs that can be set up in this policy can be too expensive to set up and maintain.
