Background: Renal involvement is rare in B lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL). The authors describe a rare case of renal involvement in a 21-year-old male patient with B lymphoblastic lymphoma leukemia, presenting with severe lactic acidosis.
Methods: Hematologic investigation, bone marrow aspirate and biopsy, cytogenetic analysis and renal biopsy were performed.
Results: The patient achieved complete hematological remission (CHR) after induction therapy with the regimen of VDCP and received consolidation chemotherapy regularly. He remained CHR until now.
Conclusions: Renal biopsy, bone marrow aspirate, and biopsy are important to confirm a correct diagnosis. Renal involvement in B-LBL as a prognostic factor needs further studies.

Neprilysin (NEP), a zinc-dependent membrane-bound metallopeptidase, regulates various bioactive peptides, particularly in kidneys, vascular endothelium, and the central nervous system. NEP's involvement in metabolizing natriuretic peptides, insulin, and enkephalins makes it a promising target for treating cardiovascular and Alzheimer's diseases. Several NEP inhibitors, such as sacubitril and omapatrilat, have been approved for clinical use, which inhibit NEP activity to prolong the bioactivity of beneficial peptides, thereby exerting therapeutic effects.

SUMOylation involves covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins to specific lysine residues on target proteins and regulates various aspects of their function. Sentrin-specific proteases (SENPs) are key players in both the conjugation reaction of SUMO proteins to their targets and the subsequent deconjugation of SUMO-conjugated substrates. Here, we provide the first comprehensive prenatal description of a lethal syndrome linked to a novel homozygous stop-gain variant in SENP7 c.
