If it's a BTEC national award/cert/diploma then yes, it is worth UCAS points. A pass at any of those 3 is 40, a merit is 80 and a distinction is 120. Basically, unless you have DMM at the very least then forget about it.i, I'm sure you've solved this by now. BTEC LEVEL 3 Diplomas replaced the old form a couple of years ago; points tarriff remain the same, its just a name change and curriculum shuffle. A PPP (straigh pass) is worth 120 points.
Yes, statins as a group can cause elevated liver enzymes. However, this does not mean that they have damaged the liver. Statins can increase ALT concentrations roughly 10% of patients. However, it is rare (less than 1% of patients) that the increase will go higher than three times the normal limit. If the enzymes raise that high, statins should be stopped.
The side effects that your doctor will be most familiar with are: 1  Liver: Changes in liver function occur in a small fraction of people; your doctor will probably monitor blood tests to check that your liver continues to function well. 2  Muscle: Muscle symptoms are common with statin drugs.
