Hello

Findings suggests calcified lesions in spleen,it may be due to healed granulomatous lesions.These are healed stage and doesn't require any treatment.
There are also small doubtful lesions in liver,it may be due to chronic hepatitis or malignancy.
You need further evaluation.CT guided biopsy and tumour markers can be done for confirmation of lesions.
High bilirubin may be due to both reasons.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Take Care
