Hello,

Red mark shows the increased level above the reference range set by the lab. Sometimes the value is so significantly raised that it needs treatment. You should avoid smoking and avoid fast and fatty foods besides restricting sweets.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
