Brief Answer:
Green tea is safer, you can take it

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. GFR of 43 for the last 10 ears wont get affected by green tea and you can take it , But your GFR is lower than normal and frequent follow ups at least every 3 to 6 months estimation of GFR should be done to keep an eye on kidney functions.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
