Calcium is supposed to be normal or in the low side of normal range in patient with chronic kidney disease stage 3. Have you seen nephrologist for chronic kidney disease with hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism or some other causes? High fluid intake and stop calcium supplement + vitamin D supplement can lower the calcium level, not because of taking collagen.
