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.
High liver enzymes are one of the more frequent findings at a routine doctor visit. Potentially indicating liver damage, high liver enzymes are detected by a simple blood test. While liver enzymes are usually found in the liver, damage to this important organ causes the enzymes to leak into the bloodstream. The two liver enzymes that are the most straight-forward to test for and evaluate are aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Normal, or healthy ranges for these liver enzymes are: 1  AST = 5 to 40 units per liter of serum. 2  ALT = 7 to 56 units per liter of serum.
