Hello and welcome to Health Care Magic,
CA-125 is a test done in case an ovarian cancer is suspected or after removal of the ovarian cancer to look for recurrence / metastasis.
You have not mentioned whether you have had any history of ovarian cancer or whether you fall in the high risk group for this tumor (any family history).
The normal range for CA-125 is between 0-35 U/ml.
Since, the value of CA-125 is 1.82, it is within normal range.
Thanks and take care
