Hyperglobulinemia, an excess of globulins in the blood, is a common feature in immune-mediated and inflammatory conditions.
Wegener's granulomatosis (now known as granulomatosis with polyangiitis) is an autoimmune disease where hyperglobulinemia, particularly elevated IgA levels, is frequently observed.

 Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells that characteristically produces a large amount of a single type of immunoglobulin (paraprotein), which causes a significant increase in total globulin levels.

 Hodgkin's disease (Hodgkin lymphoma) is a type of lymphoma that can also be associated with elevated globulin levels due to the body's inflammatory response.

 Amyloidosis involves the abnormal deposition of insoluble protein fibrils in tissues. While some forms of amyloidosis are related to multiple myeloma (primary amyloidosis), the condition itself is defined by protein deposition, not by high levels of circulating globulins in the blood.
