Hello

Enlarged liver and spleen may be due to many reasons like infection,metabolic disorder,tumour etc.
Besides clinical correlation,your brother need investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,complete liver function test,urine RE/ME,lipid profile.
He may need to take some medicines after complete investigations.

Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
He should consult surgeon.

Get well soon.
Take Care
