Hi,
You have a problem of hyperuricemia ie high uric acid level, it is metabolic problem purine (protein) metabolism which causes excess production of uric acid which is a product of protein metabolism.

Though it may occur with impaired kidney function where kidneys cannot remove uric acid from body, you have not mentioned more about your kidney status other than serum creatinine which is a high normal value.

Hyperuricemia may cause kidney stones, gout (joint pain)

You are on fair treatment, along with medicine dietary habits need to be changed like avoid red meat, pulses, vegetables like spinach.
