Nephrologist,  's  Response
Hi enlargement of liver and spleen and kidney involvement probably suggests some infection or auto immune disease. It needs extensive evaluation. If we find out the cause, almost it is treatable. Don't be panic. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
