Which of the following conditions is not treated with epinephrine?

  • A. Renal disease
  • B. Asthma
  • C. Hypotension
  • D. Glaucoma
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Renal disease. Epinephrine is not used to treat renal disease because it can potentially worsen kidney function. Epinephrine is used in asthma to dilate the airways, in hypotension to increase blood pressure, and in glaucoma to reduce intraocular pressure. Treating renal disease with epinephrine can lead to further complications due to its effect on blood flow and kidney function. Therefore, renal disease is not treated with epinephrine to avoid exacerbating kidney issues.
