Explanation:
Phisicians in Brazil use "ndn" in medical charts and descriptions of clinical cases.
"ndn" stands for "nada digno de nota"
A direct translation would be "nothing noteworthy". However, I'm under the impression "nn" is not used by physicians in English.
I found a list of medical abbreviations that contains "n.s." (=not significant) that could be closer to the meaning of "ndn".
Here is the list, very useful, BTW: http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_abbreviatio...

Perhaps Liz's suggestion would be more idiomatic, but NAD refers to the "absence of abnormal signs on examination", which is not strictly what "ndn" in Portuguese refers to.

Check these examples for "ndn" in Portuguese:

Explanation:
I don't really know what "ndn" stands for, and am guessing that it = NAD - no abnormality detected...
