When a urine sample contains a large amount of blood, the presence of numerous RBCs may obscure other cellular elements during microscopic examination. In such cases, adding 1–2 drops of 3.8% acetic acid to the urine sediment helps lyse the red blood cells. After adding acetic acid, the sample can be centrifuged again at about 2000 RPM for 15 seconds. This process clears the field by destroying RBCs, allowing other formed elements such as WBCs, epithelial cells, casts, and microorganisms to be seen more clearly under the microscope. Therefore, in cases of heavy hematuria, the use of 3.8% acetic acid is recommended to improve microscopic visualization of urinary sediment.
