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.

The youth movement originated with the ___ the generation born after ___
VLD [36.1K]
I believe that the youth movement originated with the baby boomers, the huge generation born after the world war II. By 1970, 58.2 % of the population in America was under the age of 35 years. The economic boom of the 1950s meant more families could afford to send their children to College. College life gave the young people a sense of freedom and independence. It was on college campuses across the nation that youth protest movements began and reached their peak.
