What does the 'H' flag mean on a blood test?

Question

Hi, my blood report shows triglycerides at 343 mg/dL and VLDL at 68. Could you please help me understand what these values indicate and if there is anything wrong?

I have a thyroid condition and recently took a health check up offer that included 70 blood tests. In the report, a few values came back outside the normal range. I would like to understand if there is any cause for concern. The specific values are, Absolute Eosinophil Count is 0.21 x 10000 per ?L (normal range is 0.02 to 0.5), Iron is 54.7 microgram per dL, LDL Cholesterol is 170 mg per dL (normal range is 85 to130), and TC/HDL Cholesterol ratio is also mentioned in the report. Can you please let me know if these results indicate any problem or if I need to take further action?
