Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has been a pandemic worldwide. The data about COVID‐19 in renal transplant recipient are deficiency. Herein, we report two COVID‐19 cases in renal transplant recipients. Both cases were discharged following a treatment regimen including discontinued immunosuppressant and low‐dose methylprednisolone‐based therapy. There were no signs of rejection during the treatment. These successfully treated cases can provide helpful information about the management of COVID‐19 in renal transplant recipients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
