    Objective: To systematically analyze the evidence on the effectiveness of treatment with enalapril versus losartan in adult chronic kidney disease patients for controlling hypertension. Material and Methods: This systematic review consisted of 11 scientific articles found in the following databases: Epistemonikos and PubMed. Among the 11 pieces of evidence, the types of research were 72.73% (8/11) systematic review, 18.18% (2/11) cohort study, and 9.09% (1/11) randomized controlled clinical trials. 36.37% of the evidence found came from the USA, followed by 18.18% from China, 18.18% from Italy, 9.09% from Kenya, 9.09% from Canada, and 9.09% from Switzerland. Of these, 81.82% (9/11) were of high quality and 18.18% (2/11) were of moderate quality. Results: Of the evidence found, 81.82% (n = 9/11) showed that both enalapril and losartan are effective for treating hypertension in adult patients with chronic kidney disease. 9.09% (n=1/11) showed that enalapril is more effective than losartan, and 9.09% (n=1/11) showed that losartan is more effective than enalapril. Conclusion: Both enalapril and losartan are effective for controlling hypertension in adult chronic kidney disease patients.
