IgA nephropathy is a form of glomerulonephritis so you have only one disease, IgA glomeruonephritis. Leaking the calcium (hypercalciuria) is one manifestation of primary hypoparathyroidism which is different from low calcium from low active vitamin D3 in CKD and resulted secondary hyperparathyroidism. The treatment for both conditions is active vitamin D3 and calcium supplement to keep Ca 8 - 8.5
