Hi Jayasri,
you may have splenomegaly from various reasons.
If it is new and with fever,think of malaria.
60% of Gilbert's have some amount of hemolysis and may have splenomegaly.
You have to rule out associated hereditary spherocytosis.
Generally Gilbert's is a mild illness and discovered late.
God luck
