In this web exclusive, LaQuayia Goldring (who goes by LQ) talks with "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty about her experience as a dialysis patient and kidney donor recipient, and her struggle to locate a new kidney after her donated organ failed.

"48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty examines the serious concerns about the dialysis industry, where a CBS News investigation has found one-third of all dialysis clinics failed to meet federal performance standards this year. The companies deny these allegations, and say patient care and safety are their primary concerns.
