Ophthalmology
An ophthalmology clinic in Puerto Rico has this term on a sheet of instructions for the patient.
In this case, the patient has been blind in the right eye since birth, and now the doctor is attempting to
save the left eye, which has the conditions of macular and retinal serous detachment and coloboma.
The title of the sheet is
INSTRUCCIONES PARA PACIENTES DE ***RAN*** Y BIOMETRÍA
Under the heading ***Ran***:
Se refiere a la evaluación pre-operatoria que le realiza el médico al paciente.
En esta el oftalmólogo realiza las pruebas necesarias antes de la operación.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Recuento absoluto de neutrófilos (absolute neutrophil count) is one of the parameters in a biometría hemática (complete blood count). I'm not sure if it makes sense in this context because it's one of many parameters and doesn't have much significance on its own. Do you have it in another context?
Peer comment(s):

: I don't think this is very likely because it's defined below the heading.

1) Any chance, since it is Puerto Rico, that this "acronym" was left in English? (from experience Puerto Rico has a tendency to do so)
2) Could it mean Retinal ANgiography?
"This measures the axial length of the eye that is going to be operated on. It is used along with Keratometry to calculate the lens that the ophthalmologist will implant during cataract surgery."
BUT, I don't think the patient is scheduled for biometry because only ***RAN*** is circled.
