Hep B test interpretation

Hello, I had some tests done and the doctor has a service that posts the results up to a website.  I have access to the results but have not been able to get the doctor to call me back to help me interpret them.  Very frustrating.  I assume since she hasn't called that everything is okay but I'd like to know for sure.  I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with this.  Thank you to anyone to can help!

ORDERED/ADVISED:
- Hepatitis B E Ab (51)
- Hepatitis B E Ag (52)
- Hepatitis B, Core Antibody, IgG
- Hepatitis B, Core Antibody, IgM (1224)
- Hepatitis B PCR
- Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antibody (851)
- Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen (849)

Yes they are not useful to determine anything.  You need to get actual results.  Some may say positive, negative, and others may have actual numbers but the numbers will be in units (example the PCR may reflect say 500 iu/ml but if you are negative for HBsAg then your PCR should not be detected).  Good luck.

Hi, thanks for answering.  I saw that a doctor signed off on the results and I thought those numbers meant something.  Are those numbers totally useless?

What are the results so we can help you interpret them?  All I see are labs that were done and numbers next to them which do not make sense.  The numbers next to the labs are not in any units, so we need to know not only the tests but what the testing lab units are and what your results were.
