Alt was 89 and ast 39. 6 months later alt was 65 and ast 42. is this a concern? also haptoglobim went from 33 to <10. didnt change drink or eat habit

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. The change is haptoglobin suggests excessive red cell destruction and that can explain the changes in liver enzymes.

Yes: Haptoglobin is a famously unreliable test but you need to find why the transaminases are up. How about repeating them off alcohol and meds, and if still up, get checked for hepatitis, Wilson's, hemochromatosis. Miss them and they will kill you. Easy to treat.
