A dedicated study of the πΣ c scattering around its threshold is carried out in this work to probe the nature of Λ c (2595) + . We first demonstrate that the effective range expansion approach fails to work near the Λ c (2595) + pole position, due to the presence of a nearby CDD pole around the πΣ c thresholds. We then develop a general framework to properly handle the situation with a CDD pole accompanied by nearby thresholds, which is first elaborated for the single-channel case and then generalized to the coupled-channel study. The isospin-breaking effects of the three πΣ c channels with different thresholds are specially taken into account in our study. The finite-width effects from the Σ c baryons are considered and found to be relevant to give the Λ c (2595) + width fully compatible with its experimental value. Through the compositeness analysis, our robust conclusion is that the π 0 Σ + c component is subdominant inside the Λ c (2595) + .
