Examining urine sediment immediately after decantation allows for better visualization of cellular elements like red and white blood cells, bacteria, and crystals, as they may settle quickly. Delaying examination can lead to sediment drying out or cells deteriorating, potentially affecting the accuracy of the analysis.
