Among the following which is a normal BUN/Creatinine ratio?

Creatine Kinase (CK)  is an enzyme involved in muscle contractions and found in skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and brain tissue. While measuring total CK can be useful for diagnosing different conditions, measuring the specific isoenzymes can better pinpoint the tissue/ muscle it came from. What Isoenzyme is found in the highest concentrations in the heart and used for detecting Acute myocardial infarction

After experiencing extreme fatigue and polyuria, a patient’s basic metabolic panel is analyzed in the laboratory. The result of the glucose is too high for the instrument to read. The technologist performs a dilution using 25 of patient sample to 50uL (microliter) of diluent. The result now reads 325 mg/dL. How should the technologist report this patient’s glucose result?

The synthesis of glucose from keto acids and amino acids is:
