Gang-ding X. Peng is a hematologist based in Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia. In the clinic, the focus is on blood conditions, especially when people have long-lasting or complex problems with red blood cells, blood counts, or how the body makes and breaks down blood.
Blood issues can show up in many ways. Some patients come in because of ongoing tiredness, breathlessness, or weakness linked to anaemia. Others need help with conditions where red blood cells break down too quickly, leading to haemolysis and repeat blood count changes. At times, these problems can also affect how patients feel day to day, not just lab results.
Dr Peng’s work covers a range of hereditary and acquired conditions. This includes hereditary spherocytosis, hereditary elliptocytosis, hereditary ovalocytosis, and pyruvate kinase deficiency. These are inherited blood disorders that can cause different forms of haemolytic anaemia. There are also conditions like hereditary haemolytic disorders where the red cell lifespan is shorter than it should be.
She also looks after people with haemolytic anaemia caused by the immune system, including autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria is another type of issue where red blood cells can be affected after cold exposure. In some cases, the work also includes helping sort out what is going on when there is more than one factor contributing to low blood counts.
Beyond red blood cell breakdown, the practice includes other serious haematology conditions. This includes aplastic anaemia, which can happen when the bone marrow does not make enough blood cells. It also includes iron deficiency anaemia, where treatment depends on finding the cause of low iron. Another important area is paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare condition that can affect blood and the body’s blood cell protection systems.
There are also broader medical situations linked to blood health. For example, serum sickness can cause symptoms that need careful review alongside blood results. Shwachman-Diamond syndrome is another condition in this space, where blood production and other body systems can be affected.

Overall, Dr Peng’s care is grounded in understanding the blood problem, matching the right tests, and supporting patients through the next steps for diagnosis and treatment planning.
