Hi and thanks for the query.

I am Dr. Alok and very pleased to be assisting you with your health questions today.

your high gamma globulins may be due to flare of RA or may be any other immune diseases. Regarding bleeding - this is not a feature of lupus (but decrease platelets (feature of lupus) may leads to bleeding).

But few patients do have overlap of lupus and RA. Your doctor can advice you better after clinical exam

Hope this helps and provides answers to your question.
I wish you good health.
