'''Secondary hyperparathyroidism''' can be either renal or nutritional in origin:
   −
Secondary '''renal hyperparathyroidism''' is a complication of '''chronic renal failure'''. This is due to '''hyperphosphataemia developing as a result of impaired glomerular filtration rate'''. Renal production of [[Calcium#Calcitriol|calcitriol]] is also reduced, exacerbating the resulting [[hypercalcaemia]].

Secondary '''renal hyperparathyroidism''' is a complication of '''chronic renal failure'''. This is due to '''hyperphosphataemia developing as a result of impaired glomerular filtration rate'''. '''Reduced vitamin D''' synthesis is also thought to contribute to low serum calcium levels and subsequent stimulation of the parathyroid gland. Renal production of [[Calcium#Calcitriol|calcitriol]] is also reduced, exacerbating the resulting [[hypercalcaemia]].  
    
Secondary '''nutritional''' hyperparathyroidism is caused by excessive '''phosphorus intake''' causing a total or relative calcium deficiency by '''binding calcium in the gut and decreasing its absorption'''.  This category encompasses '''bran disease in horses and also [[Metabolic Bone Disease|metabolic bone disease]] in reptiles'''.

'''Exploratory surgery''' of the cervical region may identify enlarged parathyroid glands if no other test is available or to confirm the diagnosis.

Animals with '''secondary renal hyperparathyroidism''' may demonstrate signs of bone loss radiographically. The bones of the '''jaw''' are affected first - with loss of the '''lamina dura, interdental and interradicular regions'''. Eventually bone loss generalises and widespread radiographic signs can be seen.
    
In cases of '''nutritional hyperparathyroidism, serum calcium is normal or low''' compared to high in other pathogeneses. '''Urinary excretion of phosphorus is markedly increased''' and serum PTH high. Radiographs will identify bony resorption and pathological fractures with fibrous tissue calluses.
