We describe 3 cases of urinary calculi that developed during the course of long-term solvent abuse.

The occurrence of proteinuria and hematuria was closely related to solvent sniffing in 2 of the 3 patients. Regular, long-term solvent abuse must be included in the causes of urolithiasis, particularly in juveniles and young adults.
