Microcytosis is commonly associated with iron deficiency anemia. Since the cells are shrinking the red blood cells are taking up less room relative to the plasma and become less packed, thus the ESR decreases.

The general term for pathologic changes to circulating blood cells is blood dyscrasia. Some of the categories would be morphologic changes to the cells (such as sickle cell animal, microcytosis, etc.), increased numbers of immature blood cells (such as seen in regenerative anemai), gross nuclear changes (usually indicative of neoplastic changes) and inappropriate cell numbers (either too high or too low).
