The most famous in the conditions of the Russian Federation are the classifications in the form of the numbered diet system first proposed in the forties of the 20-th century and so called the basic diet system (BDS). The numbered system was built up on the nosological principle: a dietary regime is adapted to clinical pathogenetic peculiarities of a disease, the dynamic of clinical signs and functional parameters served as a criterion of effectiveness. BDS is built up with reference to the modern knowledge about metabolism including on cell metabolism. Within BDS four basic diets were constructed: a gastroenterological (used for gastro-intestinal diseases), metabolic (for metabolic disorders – hypertonia, rheumatism, osteoporosis, etc.), nephrological (for kidney and urinary diseases), and adaptogenic (for infectious, radiation, thermal, chemical disturbing factors related diseases). Within each group of diseases the most disordered homeostasis systems are distinguished with reference to which variants of basic diets are modified. Also there has been made up a variant of adaptogenic-rational diet which is used to change a patient over the dietary regime approximated to the ration of healthy man. To improve nutritional care, there is a computer program allowing to simulate dietary rations both for the numbered system and for BDS. For different specialized departments of stationary medical institutions and for general hospital departments with small bedspace average daily food packages are recommended. However, some names of BDS dietary variants (for example, strained or low protein) do not reflect the essence of a diet.
