Coagulation factors...and high platelets etc are different from the globulins that are peptide (protein fragments) that are made in the marrow or elsewhere in the immune system, in excess.

Coagulation factors are also proteins, mostly made by the liver.
When people go into liver failure, they often may bleed to death, because their coagulation factors are impaired.

It is all pretty complicated. But I believe coagulation is different, and separate in cause from the immune factor globulins. So suppressing coagulation would not affect elevated immune globulin contributions.
