What is the relation of 'steroid suppression test' with parathyroid gland?

My impression is that the steroid suppression test (Dexamethasone test) is to help differentiate between primary hyperparathyroidism from hypercalcaemia secondary to increased corticosteroids levels. Idea 1: corticosteroids reduce calcium and phosphate absorption and inhibits bone formation (this is the catabolic arm of the cortisol stress response). Therefore, if there is a high level of corticosteroids, the result would be decreased serum calcium and phosphate. Idea 2: Lowered serum calcium and phosphate levels would in turn upregulate parathyroid hormone production to increase serum calcium and phosphate levels caused by Idea 1. Idea 3: A patient with hypercalcaemia could be given a steroid suppression test. If the hypercalcaemia were secondary to the steroids, then one would expect a responsive lowering of parathyroid hormones.
