Key histo findings with membranoproliferative GN?

PTH effects on Ca/P
Increases Ca resorption, decreases P resorption
Increases bone resorption, decreases bone deposition
Overall, increases Ca, decreases P
Increases calcitriol (by increased 1alpha hydroxylase aka vit D production by kidney), thereby increased GI absorption of Ca and phos
