What additional studies would you obtain for a patient with end stage kidney disease on hemodialysis who has persistent hypercalcemia and low PTH?

No studies or measures until I got the patient off Vit D, sensipar, and possibly Ca-based binders, and watched for a couple of months to see if PTH came up and hypercalcemia resolved. This is typical adynamic bone disease until proven otherwise.
