A message posted on Facebook by Sohei Nishitani, who is admitted to Hirosaki University Hospital (Honmachi, Hirosaki City), has been attracting attention online.

The content of the message is about Nishitani's own illness. When I posted in the early morning of April 17, more than 600 have been shared on Facebook, and it has been translated into English, and it is said that reactions are starting to appear overseas. Mr. Nishitani said, "Some of the people on the clouds who listen to us at the lecture will share it, and I am very sorry."

Nishitani, who has dilated cardiomyopathy and renal failure, is currently wearing a pacemaker on his heart and performing hemodialysis five times a day. According to Mr. Nishitani, the only treatment method was organ transplantation, which was initially planned to be a kidney transplant, but the transplanted kidney may not function when the heart condition deteriorates and blood pressure decreases. Because it is high

A heart transplant cannot be performed if there is a serious disease in an organ other than the heart because it is not allowed to perform the operation.At present, there is only a method of simultaneous cardiorenal transplantation, but in Japan at present, the heart and kidney are not transplanted. No simultaneous transplants are allowed.

Nishitani, who was working as a system engineer in Tokyo, returned to Hirosaki after the symptoms got worse in 2008. I worked for a local IT company, but since two years ago I have been forced to enter and leave the hospital.

"I fully understand that basic treatment is difficult in the current medical environment in Japan, but I want to avoid regrets because I later learned about a strategy such as "I had this kind of treatment," said Nishitani. "I was able to find what I wanted to do while continuing symptomatic treatment and set goals. I needed to be hospitalized again, and even needed hemodialysis, which made me feel more anxious. I want to use SNS to gather information about everyone." Speak to.

Mr. Nishitani says that many reply messages are currently sent. "I am very grateful for any information. I can gather information from all over the world on the Internet, so if you have any information, please let me know."
