She received the treatment at home and said dialysis clinics left her with no control over her care, treating her like a &#8220;check.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A seven-month <a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/cbsnewsdialysis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-vanity-rewritten=\"true\">CBS News investigation<\/a> looked at how two for-profit companies grew into what experts term a &#8220;duopoly,&#8221; dominating the market nationwide. Critics have accused the firms of prioritizing profits over the care of patients on dialysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The two largest for-profit companies in the dialysis industry, Fresenius and DaVita, dispute those criticisms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fresenius told CBS News in a statement that the company maintains an &#8220;unwavering focus on improving quality of life, strengthening clinical outcomes, and extending the lifespan of those we have the privilege to serve.&#8221; DaVita said in a statement that its &#8220;dedicated clinicians consistently deliver high-quality, individualized care in a complex clinical and regulatory environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Less than a week after her interview aired in June, Goldring received a life-saving kidney transplant through a living donor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the age of 3, cancer caused both of Goldring&#8217;s kidneys to fail. She received her first transplant as a teenager from a deceased donor, but when it lost function in 2014, she had to go back on dialysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In her campaign for a new kidney, Goldring stopped at nothing \u2014 posting billboards in her community and becoming an outspoken advocate for those suffering from advanced kidney disease.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, June 20, she got the call that she was a match for a kidney transplant. By the following Friday, she was on the operating table.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They asked me if I was scared or had any concerns, and I said none,&#8221; Goldring told CBS News in a phone interview. &#8220;God found me the perfect match.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/25\/f90c6c98-db30-41d6-9da6-e149f4fedc2a\/thumbnail\/620x430\/315e8b2c74cb55061f496bdc203f3ac5\/lq-transplant.jpg#\" alt=\"LaQuayia \" lq=\"\" goldring=\"\" smiles=\"\" from=\"\" her=\"\" hospital=\"\" bed=\"\" height=\"430\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/25\/f90c6c98-db30-41d6-9da6-e149f4fedc2a\/thumbnail\/620x430\/315e8b2c74cb55061f496bdc203f3ac5\/lq-transplant.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/25\/f90c6c98-db30-41d6-9da6-e149f4fedc2a\/thumbnail\/1240x860\/331efc91e1bc1483d32a67627031ec8a\/lq-transplant.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">LaQuayia &#8220;LQ&#8221; Goldring smiles from her hospital bed after learning she got a match for a kidney transplant from a living donor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Courtesy of LaQuayia &#8220;LQ&#8221; Goldring<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Goldring said she plans to continue sharing her story, emphasizing the importance of living donations. Goldring&#8217;s kidney was from an unidentified man from Georgia who chose to become a living donor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Living and non-living donations saved my life,&#8221; Goldring says. &#8220;I want to keep spreading that message. People don&#8217;t have enough information.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Malay Shah of the University of Kentucky&#8217;s Transplant Center performed Goldring&#8217;s surgery, describing it as &#8220;absolutely necessary.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>About one-third of all kidney transplants performed each year in the U.S. are living-donor kidney transplants. And Shah says living-donor kidney transplants have the best outcomes and don&#8217;t require as long of a wait time for the patient.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When a living donor match came about, it was like winning the lottery for her,&#8221; said Shah.<\/p>\n<p>While Goldring has been back to the hospital a few times since her transplant, her doctors say that&#8217;s normal with recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A kidney transplant is the only option for patients to get off of dialysis. Of the half-million people in the U.S. on dialysis at any given time, nearly 90,000 have qualified for a spot on the waiting list for a kidney transplant, and 11 people die every day waiting for a kidney, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My hope is that more people will hear about [my story] and more donors will come forth,&#8221; says Goldring.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/sheena-samu\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Sheena  Samu<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Sheena Samu is an associate producer for the Investigative Unit at CBS News.
