Secondary hyperparathyroidism is caused usually by renal failure but also by vitamin D deficiency. The blood picture is affected by the cause.
Treatment is mainly with calcium and vitamin d (calcitriol) as you are having. It requires regular monitoring to get the balance right. There is a natural tendency to have high PTH values and low Vitamin D values. If the results are not improving with treatment you should have a chat with your doctor or an endocrinologist.

probably calcium level too high and need to check in with your doctor. This is not something you should put off. Ask your doctor.
