Hmm, it's not clear to me what the benefit of that would be in terms of information (a transformation). It's univariate data, it's been a bit since I looked at it but a histogram showed readings were lognormal / weibull / gamma distributed (point is asymmetric, right-skewed), I believe.
In terms of inference, it's kind of mind-bending to think of a "population" of blood and each person having a specific variation.
