A 63-year-old father is in desperate need of a liver donor, with his family saying he is at risk of dying if he does not get a transplant within seven days.
Cheung Kwok-kwong is in the intensive care unit of Queen Mary Hospital with acute liver failure caused by hepatitis B, his family said in a written appeal yesterday.
The family sent out an appeal letter to people to come forward to help their father, who is the breadwinner.
"It is hard to imagine how a healthy adult can suddenly be critically ill and even at a high risk of losing his life in seven days," the family said.
"However, misfortune falls on Cheung Kwok-kwong's family."
His daughter, Agnes, said: "According to his doctor, his condition will be worse unless he can receive a liver transplant within seven days."
