Paraneoplastics usually increase PTH and secondary Ca
Renal failure usually saves P, which means lower bld Ca and increase PTH. Reanl problem also messes up Vit D, which leads to decreased P and Ca absorbtion which lower both of them down and increases PTH Am I right?

In renal failure:
↑P b/c kidney malfunction, ↓Ca b/c P is high, ↑PTH b/c Ca is low In paraneoplastic sydrome, it is more complicated: ↑Ca, ↓PTH Hypercalcemia due to secretion of PTH-like peptide. PTH-like peptide increases the renal reabsorption of calcium and decreases P reabsorption. The hypercalcemia lowers the patient's own PTH. Please correct me if wrong thanks
