Which of the following statements is correct?
  1. With osteoporosis, serum calcium is low
  2. With hyperparathyroidism, serum calcium is normal
  3. With Paget disease, serum calcium is low
  4. With renal failure, serum calcium is low
Explanation
Answer − D − The statement that is correct is “With renal failure, serum calcium is low.” With renal failure, as with osteomalacia, serum calcium is low. This is due to the feedback loop receptors located in the anterior pituitary gland that secrete hyperparathyroid home to increase calcium production, but the signal is not received fully due to renal failure.
