: No soy médico, pero me parece que si hablan de antecedentes somáticos, tiene más sentido esta respuesta

: Actually, I think this may be able to go both ways. Drug allergies should go right at the beginning of antecedentes personales.

NKDA
AMC = Alergias Medicamentosas Conocidas.
In English, it's NKDA, No Known Drug Allergies.

: If AMC = Alergias Medicamentosas Conocidas, then it would be known drug allergies, not no known drug allergies (NKDA).

I was translating it as "no AMC". I think this one could have gone either way. It really depends on the context.

AMC: Antecedentes médicos conocidos.
Según: http://www.msc.es/estadEstudios/estadisticas/docs/diccionari...
So, PMH for past medical history is generally accepted. However according to
http://tremedica.org/glosarios/siglas/SE-080425_A.html#16572
The abbreviation can signify a number of things (there's a list) including alergias medicamentosas conocidas NKDA, as well as PMH.
Since antecedentes personales is often interpreted as past medical history, it would be redundant to use it twice. On the other hand, past medical history is initself redundant...
The list at the tremedica.org glossary is longer. Perhaps if you have a little more context you can narrow it down.
Suerte!!!
